Steady-state measurements of respiration rate with an oxygen electrode

An oxygen electrode was developed which measures steady-state respiration rates in a volume of 0.25 ml and at oxygen concentrations as low as 0.1 [mu]. The steady state was achieved by pumping air-equilibrated buffer into the respirometer at various rates. The method is most suitable for tissue slices.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/22139/1/0000568.pd
