Product Description
The apparatus consists of two stoppered boiling tube connected by three-way taps to either limb of graduated manometer. Complete with wire baskets for supporting organisms. Comprising rates of absorption or evolution of gases by small organisms, during respiration. The apparatus consists of two stoppered boiling tube connected by three-way taps to either limb of graduated manometer. One tube holds the organisms and has syringe for altering the level of liquid in the manometer during setting up. The other tube acts as a control thermo barometer. CO2 given off by the respiring organism is absorbed by potassium hydroxide in the experimental chamber resulting in a change in the level of liquid in the manometer tube. Complete with wire baskets for supporting organisms.
Product Features
Includes two respirometer vessels, two connecting tubes, manometer U-tube and single use syringe.
Useful for measuring the rate at which some respiring plant or animal material absorbs oxygen, measuring rate of metabolism.
Excellent practice and experimentation tool for students, teacher or even at home.
Apparatus is approximately 7" tall. Each vessel is approximately 1" in diameter
Stand is approximately 4.75" tall, 8.5" wide and 4.5" long.
