ABSTRACT:
A system for obtaining a hemoglobin-oxygen equilibrium curve for a sample of concentrated hemoglobin solution or whole blood. Gaseous oxygen and/or nitrogen is used to oxygenate or deoxygenate the sample. The exchange takes place across a gas-receiving cup-shaped semipermeable membrane in a temperature-controlled chamber containing the sample, in an annular space defined between the cup-shaped gas-receiving membrane and the chamber wall. The rate of oxygen transport into and out of the sample is continuously calculated by means of a microcomputer. Simultaneously the solution pO.sub.2 is measured by means of a Clark electrode exposed to the sample. From the oxygen transport rate calculation and the pO.sub.2 measurement, the percent O.sub.2 saturation is calculated and is plotted against the change in pO.sub.2. Oxygen can be exchanged bidirectionally with the sample across the semipermeable membrane, which is positioned concentrically in a cylindrical sample cavity. The sample solution is maintained well-stirred by a magnetic stirrer provided in the cavity.
