Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING NITRIC OXIDE PRODUCTION AND OXYGEN CONSUMPTION IN CULTURES OF ADHERENT CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003102124
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
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.
