Simple Respirometer

Description

  • The apparatus is designed for comparing rates of absorption or evolution of gases by small organisms, during respiration.
  • The apparatus consists of two stoppered boiling tubes connected by three-way taps to either limb of a graduated manometer.
  • One tube holds the organisms and has a syringe for altering the level of liquid in the manometer during setting up.
  • The other tube acts as a control thermobarometer.
  • CO2 given off by the respiring organisms is absorbed by potassium hydroxide in the experimental chamber resulting in a change in the level of liquid in the manometer tube.
  • Premium Quality: 100% Biologically correct and used for professionals.
  • This item can be used as a teaching aid in schools for biological lessons.
  • If you need custom order with different sizes/ design, please contact us.
