LEO
LEO is a hand-held meter for IVF application. It allows measurement of CO2-O2 gas composition, temperature, relative humidity, and gas flow of high-top and bench-top incubators, by using multiple sensor modules.
The CO2-O2-MODULE is embedded into LEO, and it is included standard. The CO2-O2-MODULE can be easily extracted and sent to Okolab for re-calibration. Other (external) sensor modules can be connected to LEO’s connection ports.
LEO allows organization of the stored data, associating a label to each device connected. You can store up to 40 devices. The stored data can be displayed on LEO’s screen, organized by date and device.

Gas Sampling modes
Diffusion sampling mode
Gas flows into LEO through the dedicated diffusion port with icon 
.
The minimum operating flow rate is 30 ml/min.
Aspiration (Pump) sampling mode
Gas is actively pulled in via LEO’s internal pump through the dedicated aspiration port with icon
. The pump flow rate can be set in the range 60-260 ml/min.
New brushless pump lifetime: 10000h.
Diffusion / Aspiration mode selection
Operator can select between Diffusion and Aspiration mode by using the dedicated flag
Single point
LEO acquires a single point.
Measuring CO2 and O2 may take some time.
You can choose to acquire the data manually, or let LEO acquire it when the measurement is stable.
Logging mode measurement
Leo is able to acquire a sequence of data point the desired time interval.
Operator must set the duration of the sequence and the time between each measurement.
Gas Measurement From Wet Incubator
The Moisture Trap (included with LEO) is used when the measured gas is wet, in order to remove water molecules for protection of the gas sensors.
By using Wet Mode, LEO can improve the CO2 ad O2 readings by accounting for the water content of your incubator. The temperature and relative humidity (RH) values of your incubator must be entered.
LEO Sensor Modules
The sensor modules are calibrated by using traceable standards, and store the calibration data in the internal memory. The sensor modules can be delivered with traceable or accredited calibration certificate, and sent to Okolab for re-calibration.
Moreover, sensor calibration can be performed by using LEO through intuitive user calibration routines.
Each sensor can perform single point measurements and logging over time, and can store data in LEO’s local memory. The stored data can be displayed on LEO’s screen, organized by date and device. The stored data can be downloaded through the micro USB port and analyzed by using the LEO DATA IMPORT Excel Macro.
The CO2-O2-MODULE measures the CO2-O2 volume concentration in the unit of %, and CO2-O2 partial pressure in the units of mbar, psi and KPa. It is included in LEO and stores calibration data in its internal memory.
The CO2-O2-MODULE can be easily extracted and sent to Okolab for re-calibration. Moreover the CO2-O2-MODULE can be calibrated with an intuitive user calibration procedure. The CO2-O2-MODULE lifetime is 5 years.
