Method of measuring the oxygen association state of blood samples, which includes the steps of disposing a blood sample within a blood-receiving receptacle, providing a controlled atmosphere chamber, incubating the sample by placing it in the chamber and controlling said atmosphere therein so as to maintain the humidity, temperature, and carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere at substantially constant levels, and thereafter analyzing the sample by changing the concentration of oxygen in said chamber from time to time while observing the changes of oxygen association of the sample with respect to the concentration of oxygen within the chamber. |
