The Hartridge-Roughton continuous flow apparatus for measuring rapid reactions has been modified so as to fit it for— (a ) reactions involving any kind of colour change (pigment reactions, and those involving indicators); (b ) small quantities of material; (c ) easy transport. It has been used in the present form for several years in the study of small quantities of biological substances. The reacting fluids are forced by motor-driven syringes through two converging tubes to a mixing chamber, whence they pass down the microobservation tube, of approximately 1 mm internal diameter. The extent of the reaction is measured by means of a simple photoelectric cell colorimeter.
