APOLLO 4000
INTRODUCTION
WORLD PRECISION INSTRUMENTS A-1
INTRODUCTION
The APOLLO 4000 is the end result of an
extensive three-year research and
development program aimed at designing the
most advanced multifunctional free radical
detection system available. Building on
WPI’s worldwide-recognized expertise in
the field of nitric oxide detection and the
success of its popular NO detector (the
ISO-NO series), WPI’s scientists
embarked on an ambitious plan to
develop a state-of-the-art free radical
detection system incorporating the very
latest digital signal processing (DSP) technology.
The APOLLO 4000 is an optically isolated multi-channel electrode-based free
radical analyzer designed specifically for the detection of a variety of redox-
reactive species of biomedical importance. The electrochemical (amperometric)
detection principle used is similar to that employed in WPI’s popular nitric oxide
detection system, the ISO-NO Mark II . However, the APOLLO 4000 incorporates
numerous highly advanced design features that enable it to detect a broad range
of redox-reactive species with unsurpassed accuracy and sensitivity. Using WPI’s
extensive range of free radical sensing electrodes the APOLLO 4000 is able to
detect nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide, s-nitrosothiols and oxygen. On-going
research at WPI is focusing on expanding the range of detectable species.
NO sensors used with ISO-NO Mark II are completely compatible with the APOLLO
4000.
