Respirometer with Stand

Respirometer with Stand – Respiration Experiment Apparatus

The Respirometer with Stand is a laboratory apparatus used to study respiration by observing changes in gas volume or pressure associated with oxygen consumption under controlled experimental conditions. Supplied by Elmo Agencies, a scientific manufacturer in Ambala, it is suitable for laboratories, educational demonstrations, and practical experiments involving respiration.

A respirometer provides a way to investigate the respiratory activity of living organisms, such as germinating seeds or small organisms. During aerobic respiration, oxygen is consumed. In a suitably sealed setup, this change can be detected through a movement or change in the gas volume or pressure within the apparatus.

The Respirometer with Stand provides support for the apparatus during the experiment, helping maintain a stable laboratory setup. A respirometer is an instrument designed to measure or demonstrate respiration-related gas exchange. Depending on the design, it can be used to monitor oxygen uptake or changes in gas volume or pressure produced during respiration.

The apparatus is commonly used in educational experiments to investigate how factors such as temperature, organism size, and metabolic activity can affect respiration.

Borosilicate Glass

Where borosilicate glass is used in the apparatus, it offers useful properties for laboratory applications, including good thermal resistance and resistance to thermal shock compared with ordinary soda-lime glass. Borosilicate glass is widely used in laboratory glassware because of its chemical and thermal properties.
