SLYKE MANOMETRIC APPARATUS The growth of medicine and its dependence on clinical chemistry derives from the development, in 1917, of Van Slyke's volumetric gas measuring apparatus (Fig. 3U) for determining carbon dioxide concentration, the first instrument designed specifically for the clinical chemistry laboratory, and shortly after that, the development by Folin and Wu of a protein-free filtrate method for determining blood sugar. These developments made the chemist immediately useful and necessary for the clinician. Now chemical analyses could keep up with the patient's changing clinical condition. Occurring about the time of the discovery of insulin, these advances brought the chemist from an annex of the mortuary into close relationship with the wards. For this reason the modern name, clinical chemistry, is a more valid description than the older term, chemical pathology (54).
