Abstract We report here the development of a new method that allows continuous determination of the oxygen dissociation curve for microsamples (600 µl) of whole blood under conditions of pH, pco2, methemoglobin concentration, and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate content closely approaching those found in the circulatory system. The method consists of gradually oxygenating a blood sample by adding H2O2 in the presence of catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), to produce the reaction H2O2 → H2O + ½ O2. Because the total oxygen content of blood can be derived from the known rate of H2O2 addition and the po2 is determined in the liquid phase by an oxygen electrode, the two functions (total O2 content) and (% oxygen saturation) vs. po2 are simple to calculate. pco2 and pH are controlled by adding base simultaneously with the gradual oxygenation of blood. The method described thus avoids the direct measurement of oxygen saturation of whole blood.

Abstract We describe a method for recording oxygen dissociation curves for whole-blood specimens. The blood sample is placed in a thermostated measuring chamber, and pO2 and SO2 are measured continuously by polarography and by reflectometry, respectively. During the recording of an oxygen dissociation curve, the pO2 and SO2 signals are stored in a data-acquisition system, while pH, pCO2, and temperature are kept constant. Determination of precision and error discussion indicated that the coefficient of variation (CV) of the determination of the oxygen dissociation curve is mainly determined by the error in the measurement of SO2. The overall CV of pO2 values belonging to the lower, mid-, and upper parts of the SO2 range is estimated to be about 2.6, 3.1, and 2.1%, respectively. In practice the measurements are about 30% more precise than estimated. With our method, the fixed-acid-induced Bohr effect (H+ factor) can be determined over the entire SO2 range with much greater precision than hitherto.
