A Micrometer Plunger Adaptation to the Stern-Kirk Microrespirometer

Summary A Stern-Kirk microrespirometer was provided with a plunger adaptation which obviates the need of prior calibration of volumes of respiration and compensation chambers. By combining interchangeable plungers of different diameters with various available capillary manometer tubes, the range of...

Zusammenfassung:Summary A Stern-Kirk microrespirometer was provided with a plunger adaptation which obviates the need of prior calibration of volumes of respiration and compensation chambers. By combining interchangeable plungers of different diameters with various available capillary manometer tubes, the range of the instrument can be extended. Use of the instrument in measuring the oxygen uptake of human gingival tissue is described.
