The ESAW Van Slyke Blood Gas Apparatus VSA-147 is a classic manometric laboratory device designed for accurate determination of gases dissolved in liquids such as blood, plasma, or serum. It operates through controlled chemical reactions that release gas into a measurable volume, enabling precise quantification of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.
This apparatus includes:
-
Reaction Chamber: For releasing gases from liquid samples
-
Glass Manometer: Mercury or water-filled to measure gas pressure/volume
-
Pipettes & Reagent Reservoirs: For accurate liquid handling
-
Stopcocks & Ground-Glass Joints: To ensure airtight control
-
Polished Wooden Stand: Provides stability for delicate glass components
An essential educational lab equipment for schools and medical colleges, the Van Slyke apparatus is widely used in physiology, biochemistry, respiratory analysis, and clinical research.
✅ Realistic Use Case Scenarios
-
Students & Schools: Learning principles of gas solubility in biological fluids
-
Universities & Medical Colleges: Demonstrating blood gas content analysis
-
Research Labs: Studying respiratory physiology and gas exchange
-
Industrial Labs: Monitoring gas content in chemical and biological processes
It’s an affordable Van Slyke apparatus for labs in India and is widely exported to Africa, Europe, Asia, and the USA, trusted by educators, researchers, and bulk lab equipment buyers.
