A Simple and Inexpensive Tonometry System for Use with Microlitre Blood Samples

The construction of a blood tonometering system based on the vibrating action of a firebell is described. Its performance has been assessed with human blood at 37 degrees C and in use with Antarctic fish blood (Pagothenia borchgrevinki) at -1.5 degrees C.
