manometry A largely obsolete technique for measurement of respiration of tissue slices or other biochemical preparations. The volume of oxygen taken up is measured in a Warburg apparatus, a closed system that consists of a flask with a central well in which NaOH is placed to absorb carbon dioxide. In the absence of alkali, the volume of evolved carbon dioxide is offset by oxygen taken up and is evaluated by difference. (see also QCO2; QO2)
