The Varieties of Scrubbers, Tubing, and Tubing Connectors
Keyword(s):
This chapter discusses several often-neglected areas of respirometry infrastructure. These include the correct selection of scrubber chemicals for removing water vapor and/or carbon dioxide from air streams, without undesirable interactions; chemical-free scrubbing techniques such as selective membranes, thermal condensing systems, and mathematical correction for water vapor dilution; selecting tubing for metabolic measurement; evaluating the different tubing chemistries in light of the intended application; selecting appropriate tubing diameters for the flow rates that will be used; selecting tubing connectors; maintaining connector gender conventions to minimize plumbing confusion; and other related topics.
