Laminar Flow-Through Cell for Enthalpimetric Determination of Biological Substrates

Abstract

This paper describes a very versatile laminar flowthrough cell designed to perform enthalpimetric determinations of biochemical substrates in the field of clinical and biochemical analysis. The performance of the apparatus is demonstrated for the glacose/glucose-oxidase system instrument. Sensitivity allows determination of glucose concentrations in the range of 10^?3 Moles/litre. Other enzyme-substrate exothermic reactions can be used without any modification of the instrument.
