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°C and in use with Antarctic fish blood ( Pagothenia borchgrevinki) at — 1.5°C.
