  About Qubit


Product Quality

"I have found the people at Qubit Systems to be an extremely valuable resource in getting three different systems up and running. Their knowledge, experience and unfailing good humour helped me work through a number of issues. They have provided the best service that I have ever received from a company."
Dr. Diane Robertson, Biology Department, Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa

 

Research Gas Exchange Systems

"When purchasing a new gas exchange system for research purposes, I took a chance with Qubit systems; they claimed to produce a competitive system at almost half the price of those of more established companies. I am happy to say that I am entirely happy with my decision.  I now have a reliable and versatile system that is just as accurate as the more expensive competition and, because it is modular, can be expanded as my needs evolve.  Most importantly, I received outstanding service during all phases of purchase: conception, ordering, installation and continuing help."
Bill Shipley, Département de Biologie, Université de Sherbrooke

 

Dissolved Oxygen Package

"I have tested my new Qubit system with isolated oyster mitochondria, and was extremely pleased with the results. I can't believe I was suffering for the whole year with my old chamber. I have tried three different systems based on Clarke-type electrodes including this one, and this is by far the most convenient for use with small sample volumes and gives a very clean, repeatable trace with the best signal to noise ratio I ever had with micro-chambers."
Dr. Inna Sokolova, Assistant Professor, Biology Department, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

 

Respiration Packages

"We purchased twenty Respiration Packages with support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. With minimal training, all 150 student teams were able to measure the effects of temperature on respiration rates in mice and lizards. The Qubit Respiration Package certainly works as advertised."
Dr. Bob Hodson, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware

 

Plant CO2 Analysis Packages

“I have been very impressed with the value and quality of our Qubit Systems' laboratories. Their simplicity of design allows students to understand the processes they are measuring better than our more elegant expensive portable photosynthesis machine.
We plan to take your CO2 system, with portable pump and battery to the tropics this spring for a field course - a trip we are not brave enough to take our $18,000 machine on!"
Dr. Judy Parrish, Milliken University, Decatur, Illinois

 

Photosynthesis Package

"I highly recommend the photosynthesis package for any faculty member who wants to begin to make a laboratory more research-based and inquiry driven. It also is very useful to support independent research projects."
Dr. Jim Hoerter, Ferris State University, Big Rapids, Michigan

 

Nitrogen Fixation Package

"My students in plant physiology found the Qubit Photosynthesis and Nitrogen Fixation systems challenging, enjoyable and rewarding. The most heartening remark was: 'Now we really begin to understand whole plant photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation, while before it was just meaningless book knowledge...'."
Dr. Neil G. Grant, Professor, Department of Biology, William Paterson University, Wayne, New Jersey

"We have used both the Photosynthesis and Nitrogenase assay systems and find them robust and easy to use. An excellent feature is that the students can assemble the unit, get it working and then handle the data. This is a great boon from a teaching point of view in that the students feel that they are in control and they learn the real pitfalls in setup and data handling.
Qubit's educational packages are hard to beat. As tools for teaching students the principles of photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation, they are great value!"
Dr. Warwick Silvester, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand
