content: A Warburg apparatus is used to measure the pressure of a gas at constant volume and temperature so that the pressure is a measure of the quantity of gas and changes in pressure reflect the production or absorption of gas. Otto Heinrich Warburg (1883-1970) was a German biochemist who conducted research on cell respiration and tumor metabolism and won the 1931 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. There is an AMINCO (American Instrument Co.) tag on the base of this example.
