Gasometric Analysis in Plant Investigation

Warburg, van Slyke, Microdiffusion Methods and Ethylene

  • Chapter

  • 44 Accesses

Abstract

Since gases enter into a great many chemical and biological reactions considerable attention has been given to their measurement. This has led to the development of a wide variety of methods and the chemical, physical and biological properties of gases have all been exploited. While the majority of the procedures are specialised a few have found wide application in the analytical field. A number of these latter procedures are mentioned and in particular a description of the van Slyke apparatus, Warburg respirometer and micro-diffusion methods is included to indicate the apparatus required and the potentialities of these techniques.
