Title: | Karl von Vierordt: Innovations in Blood Chemistry | Authors: | Davis, Ian M. | Keywords: | Blood; corpuscles; volumetry; microscopy; replicate analysis | Issue Date: | 17-Sep-2021 | Publisher: | UA Editora. Universidade de Aveiro. Serviços de Documentação, Informação e Museologia | Serial title, monograph or event: | A evolução da Química: impactos na sociedade. 1º Encontro Nacional de História da Química | Place of publication or event: | Aveiro | Abstract: | Karl von Vierordt (1818—1884), a mid-19th C. physician and physiologist, developed and applied quantitative chemistry techniques to innovate the measurement of the ratio of blood corpuscles in a volume of blood. His determinations, performed using his own blood, stand to the present as accurate representations of the number of red blood cells found in a cubic millimeter of blood. While his methods may seem rudimentary from a presentist historical perspective, he understood that the methods chemists had been employing in other areas of chemistry and quantitation were applicable to the measurement of blood corpuscles. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/101961 | DOI: | 10.48528/y82q-sf85 | Rights: | openAccess |
