Abstract
AN exceedingly sensitive static1 as well as continuous2 method for determining molecular oxygen in the gas phase has been described by Hersch. This discovery has led to the development of a reliable commercial instrument for the continuous indication and recording of oxygen in gases. Hersch has also proposed2 the application of this method to oxygen dissolved in boiler water, effluents, biofluids, and fermentation media by driving the oxygen into an inert carrier.
