The Edulab China Respirometer is a compact apparatus for comparing rates of absorption or evolution of gases by small organisms during respiration. It consists of two stoppered boiling tubes connected by three-way taps to either limb of a graduated manometer, with one tube holding the organisms under test and the other acting as a control thermo-barometer.
Key Features
- One tube holds the organisms and has a syringe for altering the level of liquid in the manometer during set-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, causing a change in the level of liquid in the manometer tube
- Two stoppered boiling tubes connected by three-way taps to either limb of a graduated manometer
- Complete with wire baskets for supporting organisms
About This Product
This Respirometer is designed for biology laboratories investigating respiration rates in small organisms. The syringe fitted to the organism tube allows the liquid level in the manometer to be adjusted precisely during set-up, while the control thermo-barometer tube compensates for changes in temperature and pressure unrelated to respiration. As potassium hydroxide absorbs the carbon dioxide produced, the resulting shift in manometer liquid level gives a clear, measurable indication of gas exchange, with the included wire baskets keeping specimens securely positioned during the experiment.

FAQ
Q: What is this Respirometer used for?
A: It is used in biology laboratories to compare rates of absorption or evolution of gases by small organisms during respiration.
Q: How does it measure respiration?
A: Carbon dioxide given off by the organism is absorbed by potassium hydroxide, and the resulting change in manometer liquid level indicates the rate of gas exchange.
Q: What is the second tube for?
A: The second tube acts as a control thermo-barometer to account for changes not related to respiration.
Q: Can this be ordered in bulk for schools or distributors?
A: Yes, Edulab China supports bulk and export orders for schools, distributors, and institutional buyers.
