Method and apparatus for measuring nitric oxide production and oxygen consumption in cultures of adherent cells

摘要

An apparatus and method for measuring nitric oxide production and oxygen consumption in cultures of adherent cells continuously and without destroying the cells. The method involves flowing growth media through a tube having adherent cells are adhered to the inner surface thereof and then contacting the growth media with an NO or O₂ sensor to detect the concentration of NO or O₂ in the growth media.
