Philip Harris Simple Respirometer
Philip Harris Simple Respirometer
Product code: PP00054653
Product Description
Simple Respirometer for comparing the 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 connector for altering the level of liquid in the manometer during setting up.
The other tube acts as a control thermobarometer. The Carbon Dioxide 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.
- Complete with wire baskets for supporting organisms.
- Capillary Tube Diameter - 0.8mm (approx.)
Potassium Hydroxide is sold separately: B8F78599
- Easy to use and set up.
- The wire baskets support and protect the organisms being studied.
- Evolution of carbon dioxide by organisms or fermenting yeast,
- Evolution of oxygen during photosynthesis (if used with Algae)
- Suitable living organisms include Woodlice, Locusts, Maggots (Yeast can also be used)
- Potassium Hydroxide can be purchased separately.
