    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting biological activities in a specimen such as blood are disclosed. The present invention provides a system whereby the intensity of light with a wavelength within the range of about 600 nm to 800 nm introduced into a sample at a first location is measured as it reemerges at a second location. A significant change in the intensity of the reemerging light indicates the presence of biological activity. Preferably, the intensity is also measured at a fourth location, or alternatively, a second light source is disposed at a third location to permit comparative intensity data to be collected. These data are useful in partially identifying the types of microorganisms present in the sample. In preferred embodiments, light emitting diodes are used as the light sources and multiplexed to a plurality of samples. These signals are either detected using photodetectors and demultiplexed, or are collected using fiber-optic light guides and fed to a photomultiplier tube which generates an intensity signal. In either embodiment, the intensity signal is preferably amplified, digitized and stored in a computer.

    Abstract: Optical analytical instruments to determine a physical parameter of a fluid, and methods of operation of such instruments, are shown. These employ a source of suitable optical radiation, a detector means, means defining a zone for the fluid, means defining an optical path from the radiation source through the fluid zone to the detector means, and reading and control circuitry. At least two readings of optical energy that has been influenced by the fluid are taken without there having occurred substantial change to the fluid. During one of the readings a filter of known absorbance is included in the optical path so that the respective reading represents a calibration reading. A calibration-value-determining means is constructed first to compare, effectively, the two readings to remove the effect of the fluid from the value of the calibration reading, second, to compare, effectively the residual value of the calibration reading to a known value based on the known absorbance of the filter, and, third, on the basis of the second comparison, to make a calibration adjustment based on values derived while the fluid sample remained unchanged in the fluid zone. Novel software implementations of the determinations are shown. Specific examples of instruments and methods implementing these features shown are a dual lamp, no-moving part in-line spectrophotometer, a no-moving part reflection colorimeter capable of on-line or off-line operation, a scatter or fluorescence detecting implementation and a turbidimeter.

    Abstract: A flow cell for a fluorescence spectrometer includes a flow channel to receive a flow of a liquid sample, an excitation light entrance window to receive excitation light from a light source, and an emission light exit window to transmit fluorescent emission light from the liquid sample in the flow channel from the flow cell. The excitation light entrance window and/or emission light exit window includes a waveguide including: a waveguide core formed of a core material; and a cladding medium surrounding a portion of the waveguide core, wherein the cladding medium has a refractive index less than the refractive index of the core material. The waveguide defines a portion of the flow channel.
