Abstract

The measurement of the specific oxygen uptake rate (OUR) of slow growing organisms using a small sample size is often hampered by the consumption of oxygen by the electrode used. Using a optochemical sensor we measured the OUR of carrot embryos with approximately 1000 cell clusters and of hybridoma with approximately 106 cells. An OUR as low as 0.02 μmol/h can be accurately measured.
