“The Millikan oxymeter, with which Dr. Howard Bierman has been working and which he has discussed with this group, can be attached to the external ear and gives prompt information about oxygen saturation. It is so calibrated that the administration of 97 to 100% oxygen to normal individuals causes an increase of 5 per cent in the oxymeter reading.”

“Recalibration of the oxymeters was done in January 1969 with a standard solution. Oxygen recordings by the oxymeters were as low as 10 ppb and agreed well with the Winkler tests. The Magna oxymeter was used successfully throughout the operation period to monitor the oxygen level in the deaerated brine.”

“The Chorella experiment studied the growth of algae cultures in a nutrient medium, and an oxymeter was used to study the concentrations of oxygen in human tissue in weightlessness.”

“Mice subjected to intermittent O₂ treatment were exposed to 100% O₂ directly after surgery for two 3 hours intervals, with a period of 3 hours of normal ambient air in between. [...] O₂ concentration was continually recorded using an oxymeter.”
