A novel portable instrument has been designed for in-situ microsensor measurements. The micro profiler, which can be equipped with microsensors for measurements of oxygen, pH, sulphide (S -- or H2S) and temperature, is ideal for a wide range of applications including:

• Oxygen respiration
• Benthic primary production
• Quantification of sulphide oxidation and sulphate reduction by measurement with a sulphide (gas or ion) microsensor for use in bio-films and sediments.

Profiling measurements can be carried out with a spatial resolution of 50 micron in numerous locations including:

• At the sediment-water interface (from tidal flats to 100 m water depth).

• In bio-films, for studying the transformation of organic matter.

• Under ice, for studying respiration and primary production of ice-algae.
