Abstract
Summary
A micro modification of the standard Warburg vessel for the study of gaseous exchange of tissues has been described. As would be anticipated from the decrease in size from 17 ml to about 3 ml, the amounts of tissue required for satisfactory results can be reduced to about one-fifth those usually used.
An advantage over other more sensitive apparatus is that the manometer supports are interchangeable with the standard Barcroft-Warburg supports, so the same water-bath and shaking device can be used for both.
