[1] Measurement of absolute oxygen levels in cells and tissues using oxygen sensors and 2-nitroimidazole EF5

CJ Koch - 2002 - Elsevier
Despite the enormous range and variety of chemical, biochemical, and biological effects of
oxygen, accurate control and assessment of the “oxygen concentration” remain extremely
difficult experimental tasks in all but the simplest of systems. The difficulty of such control and
assessment increases greatly as the oxygen concentration decreases below physiological
levels, often the range of greatest biological significance. This chapter discusses possible
approaches to these difficult tasks using quantitative measurements of binding of a …
