Respirometer

Product Code : ILS-GBP-11102

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Respirometer (Product ID: 11102) as part of its general biology products range. It is a differential respirometer for measuring how fast small organisms take up oxygen during respiration.

Quick Answer

Two stoppered boiling tubes connect through three-way taps to the two limbs of a graduated manometer. One tube holds the organisms, such as germinating seeds or small invertebrates, and has a syringe for resetting the manometer liquid; the other acts as a control thermobarometer that cancels out temperature and pressure changes. Potassium hydroxide absorbs the carbon dioxide given off, so the movement of the manometer liquid shows the oxygen used. Potassium hydroxide is corrosive: wear gloves and eye protection, and handle the glass with care.
