ABSTRACT
Biocalorimetry is now well established, and excellent reviews are available in which the calorimetric principles and design are described in detail, a wide number of applications are provided, and the thermodynamics behind the processes that can be studied are explored: for example, Beezer (1980), Calvet and Prat (1963), Kemp (1999), Privalov (2012), Privalov and Dragan (2007), Wadsö (1985, 2002). erefore, only a brief review of the rst high-sensitivity instruments designed and constructed will be presented, along with some notes concerning the evolution of some of these calorimeters into commercially available instruments.
