Overview
The TC500 Tucker Cell can be used for measuring oxygen content of blood containing haemoglobin and haemocyanin.
The oxygen content of blood can be measured accurately and quickly by the method of Tucker (1967). In this method, a small sample of blood is introduced into the chamber containing a solution of ferricyanide, and the resulting release of bound oxygen produces an increase in PO2, which is detected by the oxygen electrode.
