| Measures the concentration or partial pressure of CO2 in the respiratory gases. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The measurement of color in a solution by determining the amount of light absorbed in the ultraviolet, infrared, or visible spectrum; widely used in clinical chemistry to calculate the concentration of substances in solution. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A method of identifying and analyzing substances by fragmenting them with a bombardment of high-energy electrons. Each molecule has a specific pattern of fragmentation, and these patterns are recorded on a mass spectrum. This technique is often combined with gas-liquid chromatography. |
