title: An improved ultra-violet halothane meter.
abstract: The development of an ultra-violet absorption meter, suitable for the measurement of concentrations of halothane (0-5%) under clinical conditions, is described. The scale is accurate to 0.05% and the zero draft did not exceed 0.25% halothane over 15 h after a 5-min warm-up period. The inherent time of response is about 2 s.
