Steady-state respirometry apparatus

We're interested in measuring respiration (of mitochondrial and cell 
suspensions) at steady state oxygen concentrations.  i.e. an apparatus that 
uses a micro-injection pump to replenish O2 as it is used, and keep [O2] 
constant.  The rate of injection is monitored by a computer and from that, 
the rate of O2 consumption can be inferred.

I know of one such commercially available system, the oxygraph thing from 
Oroboros, but it's $12,000 retail.  Does anyone else make a similar system 
that does the same for less $$$ ?

Thanks
