Cover Story: Micro-respirometry (mR) is a popular method for measuring the total viable (aerobic) count (TVC) of aerobes. However, this method currently uses luminescence-based O2 sensors that are difficult to fabricate and expensive. Here, a simple method is described for making inexpensive, ink-based alternatives based on O2-sensitive, luminescent dyes. The experimental results and modelled response calculations show that there is little to be gained by making the O2 sensor either very sensitive or insensitive. A simple-to-make Pt porphyrin-based ink is used to make an O2 sensor that can replace the expensive O2 sensor currently used in commercial instruments for measuring TVC. The potential use of these inexpensive, O2-sensitive inks as substitutes for expensive commercial O2 sensors is discussed briefly. View this paper
