Britton Chance (1913-2010) was an American biochemist and biophysicist known for his pioneering work in the field of spectroscopy, particularly in the application of fluorescence and phosphorescence to biological systems. He made significant contributions to our understanding of energy transfer mechanisms within cells and the dynamics of various biomolecules. Chance is also renowned for developing techniques that allow researchers to study the properties of proteins and other biological molecules in real-time.

Britton Chance coauthored measurements of oxygen utilization during oxidative phosphorylation. Time-dependent oxygen signals reveal how respiration responds to changes in the available substrates and phosphorylation conditions.
The apparatus must separate genuine oxygen consumption from oxygen ingress and instrumental response. Such controls connect a measured signal slope with a physiological flux.[ref]
