Overview
The OxyLite™ series by Oxford Optronix is a third-generation optical oxygen partial pressure (pO2) monitoring system designed for both in vivo and in vitro applications. It is renowned for its ease of use, requiring no user calibration, and offers outstanding accuracy and stability.

Specifications and Features

• Utilizes minimally invasive ‘optode’ sensors.
• Capable of simultaneous readings from up to four locations.
• Includes intuitive touch-screen controls (available on OxyLite™ Pro).
• Offers both single-channel and multi-channel (dual or 4-channel) monitors.

Applications
The OxyLite™ monitors are used in various fields such as cancer biology, angiogenesis, stroke and brain injury, vital organ and muscle tissue monitoring, flap monitoring, ophthalmology, wound healing, and dissolved oxygen monitoring in cell culture and bioreactors.

Performance
The system employs third-generation fluorescence-based ‘optode’ technology, providing unmatched sensitivity, stability, and accuracy, especially under hypoxic conditions. It generates absolute units of dissolved oxygen in mmHg or kPa, offering a direct readout of oxygen availability to cells and tissues.

Multi-parameter Monitoring
OxyLite™ can be used in conjunction with OxyFlo™ blood flow monitors for simultaneous measurement of tissue oxygen, blood flow, and temperature.

Data Output and Warranty

• Offers both digital and analogue outputs for continuous data recording.
• Comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Conclusion
The OxyLite™ series is recognized internationally as a gold standard in biomedical hypoxia and ischaemia research, with over 500 peer-reviewed journal citations. It is marketed as the most user-friendly oxygen monitor available, with no sensor calibration procedures and built-in temperature compensation.
