Abstract
Abstract A novel electrochemical cell adapted to be used in determining the concentration of small quantities of carbon monoxide in a fluid medium by an oxygen-depletion method is disclosed in which oxygen is transported into the cell through a quantity of a stable hemeprotein compound which, at normal ambient temperatures, is capable of reversibly binding molecular oxygen but preferentially binds molecular carbon monoxide, thus reducing the oxygen transported to the cell.
