Abstract :
Many problems in medical research concerning the transmembrane diffusion, transport, and metabolism of oxygen require its detection with microliter accuracy. The paper describes the construction and operating characteristics of an electronic polarograph sensing system with a membrane-covered gold electrode having a sensing error of less than 0.5 microliter of oxygen at atmospheric pressure.
