Published: June 1992

The determination of the fate of a compound following administration can be performed using the disposition method with 14C-labeled substances, which also allow the measurement of metabolism with CO2 as an expired end product. To substitute the laborious CO2-collection in washing bottles as carbonate a simple instrumentation was built for continuous 14CO2-measurement. The air from the metabolic cage is led in thin layer through a chamber fitted to a foot-monitor, the output of which is online for computation. The instrument is sensitive and calibration is easy.
