Strathkelvin - Model RC400 - Respiration Chamber - Instructions for Use Manual

The RC400 respiration chamber is an acrylic chamber with a detachable perforated floor on which the animal is placed. The space below the floor is occupied by a spinbar driven by a magnetic stirrer. Although microcathode electrodes like the 1302 do not require the water to be stirred, a gentle stirring is nevertheless necessary to produce a homogeneous distribution of oxygen in the chamber. The lid of the chamber screws on to the bottom half, making a seal against an `O` ring. The 1302 electrode is fitted into the EH100 electrode holder supplied, which is then inserted through an `O` ring in the centre of the lid.
