Oxygen Consumption Rate of Tissue Measured by a Micropolarographic Method
A new method for measuring the oxygen consumption rate of a sheet of homogeneous tissue is described. The method measures, by a Clark-type oxygen electrode without a membrane, the time for the tissue to consume all its dissolved oxygen. The electrode is applied to one surface of the tissue sheet and...

| Sumario: | A new method for measuring the oxygen consumption rate of a sheet of homogeneous tissue is described. The method measures, by a Clark-type oxygen electrode without a membrane, the time for the tissue to consume all its dissolved oxygen. The electrode is applied to one surface of the tissue sheet and the other surface is sealed from the atmosphere by a cover slip. The consumption is calculated from an estimate of the oxygen dissolved in the tissue at the moment it is covered and the time for the oxygen tension at one surface to fall to zero. The data also yield the oxygen diffusion coefficient in the oxygen-consuming tissue. |
