The feces produced in the
respirometer chambers were eliminated and the mucus adhered to the inside was refrigerated after being collected quantitatively every two hours using a silicone spatula.
"We can get respirometry from a single fruit fly," said Fuller proudly as he stood before the stack of equipment that makes up the
respirometer.

respirometer or amount of carbon dioxide evolved.' (ISO: Geneva)
Note the simultaneous
respirometer trace and bi-atrial dilatation.
The FVC measured with a Wright's
respirometer were 1.2 and 0.8 L, respectively; tidal volume was 7-10 ml/kg, and spontaneous respiratory rate was from 10 to 15 in both.
The grant also paid for a swim tunnel
respirometer, which assesses the metabolic activity of a fish to determine toxic reaction following exposure to nanoparticles.
Reused respiratory accessories, including the breathing systems used for anesthesia,
respirometer, resuscitation bag, nebulizer and test lung, should be properly cleansed and decontaminated after each use.

An underwater
respirometer and programmable data logger for in situ energy budget studies.
Another possible way to measure manually the C[O.sub.2] produced during the biodegradation of polymers is by the use of a Bartha
respirometer, which was originally developed for determining the biodegradation of pollutants in soil (40-43).
