Methods for microgasometry of a few hundred mast cells are described. The Cartesian ampulla diver technique is used. The sample size is determined by counting the cells within the diver. The respiration rates at 37°C, expressed in microliters per cell per hour, are 0.29 x 10-6 without substrate and 0.47 x 10-6 with glucose.
