The TM8000 Filmtonometer is a high precision device for equilibration of blood or aqueous solutions within a very short time.
High precision thermostatic—and rotation-speed control provide high stability and reproducibility.
The operation, cleaning and desinfection steps are very user friendly and safe.
The high sample volume of 8 ml allow a high number of analysis on the target instruments per run.
As a gas source precision gas cylinders can be connected — best performance will provide the MEON HPGMS High Precison Gas Mixing Unit.
Product – Features
Easy and Safe Operation
- The glass sample container placed inside of the transparent wather bath ensures safe sample handling
- For sample collection the lid of the container remains closed, no interruption of the gas supply necessary – only rotation must be stopped while drawing the sample
- Easy removable sample container (glass-bulb) for cleaning and disinfection process
Fast and precise equilibration
- The precise rotation control provides a maximum of contact-surface between sample and gas enviroment to ensure fastest equilibration for a minimum of operaters idle time
- The inovative thermostatic circuit guarantees a high constant sample temperature for precise results
Quality Control Aspects
- The most accurate quality control for Blood Gas Parameters (golden Standard) can be archieved with tonometered whole blood samples – no limitation like oxygen capacity of aqueous samples, sample contact with ambient air, handling errors …
