A preweighed vial of lyophilized methemoglobin (ferrihemoglobin) provides a simple, stable, reproducible standard for colorimetric determination of total hemoglobin concentration in whole blood by the cyanmethemoglobin method. Conversion of the standard and of hemoglobin in blood samples to cyanmethemoglobin is accomplished with Drabkin's solution reconstituted from a dry powder and having an added non-ionic surface active agent (Brij-35). Color intensity is measured at 540 m.mu..
摘要:
The invention relates to an amplification circuit for a photoelectric device - for example, a phototransistor - whereby the output from such circuit is responsive to percentage changes in the light incident upon said device rather than absolute changes therein or in the condition of the circuit. The device is connected in series with a diode junction across a potential supply and the current passing therethrough controls the bias applied to a transistor connected across a potential supply and having diode junction characteristics similar to those of the first-named junction. The output signal from the circuit is thus dependent upon the current flow through the transistor, which is controlled by the bias applied thereto. Also disclosed and claimed is the application of the circuit to a web fault detector apparatus.

An improved dip and read type test device having a flat bibulous matrix having an indicator incorporated therewith, the matrix being disposed between and attached to a pair of liquid impervious members and having exposed peripheral edge portions such that upon immersion into a solution containing material to which said indicator is responsive, flow of said solution into said matrix through said edge portions causes formation of measurable visible indicia pattern on the matrix.

A DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE DENSITY OF SMOKE SUITABLE FOR MEASURING THE DENSITY OF EITHER WHITE SMOKER OR BLACK SMOKE. THE DEVICE COMPRISES ONE OR MORE SHUTTERS, SUCH AS ROTATING DISCS, SO PLACED AS TO PARTIALLY PERIODICALLY INTERFERE WITH THE FIELD OF VISION OF A VIEWING TUBE THROUGH WHICH THE SMOKE UNDER EXAMINATION IS VIEWED. THE DENSITY OF THE SMOKE IS MEASURED BY COMPARING THE APPEARANCE OF THE SMOKE WITH THE APPEARANCE OF AMBIENT AIR THROUGH THE ROTATING SHUTTER IN THE FIELD OF VISION. THE DEVICE MAY BE USED FOR WHITE SMOKE AS WELL AS BLACK SMOKE DENSITY MEASUREMENT BY REFLECTING LIGHT OFF THE SHUTTER AS IT IS ROTATING.

A method for determining the presence of occult blood in the bowl of a toilet containing water and fecal matter includes the steps of applying a developing solution to a sheet of absorbent paper impregnated with a guaiac reagent to form an activated test sheet of paper, and contacting the test paper with the water in the toilet bowl. Preferably, the test sheet is an absorbent paper impregnated with a guaiac reagent and having only a portion thereof additionally impregnated with blood in an amount sufficient to react with the guaiac in the presence of a developing solution to dye the paper blue. The blood impregnated portion of the sheet upon use forms a dyed test strip with which the person using the paper can make a comparison to determine whether and the extent to which the actual guaiac reaction has taken place on the remaining portion of the sheet.

Methods are described by which immunochemical procedures such as immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis can be used to provide quantitative measurement of the concentration of individual proteins in fluids such as serum, spinal fluid, tissue extracts and the like. That is accomplished typically by making quantitative optical measurements of the zones of precipitation which are produced, in parallel with those of standard preparations containing known concentrations of the proteins to be determined; deriving from the measurements of the precipitation zones selected parameters; and comparing the selected values of the experimental and reference preparations. The zone measurements are preferably made by scanning the plates electronically, with suitable arithmetic manipulation of the resulting video values at a plurality of selected positions for each zone.

A process for accurately controlling the intrinsic viscosity of sulfite pulp at the termination of a digestion operation comprising predetermining the duration of digestion time required to obtain a given pulp intrinsic viscosity for a range of initial weight ratios of combined SO.sub.2 to wood, determining during the digestion operation the initial weight ratio of combined SO.sub.2 to wood by measuring the rate of change of absorbance in the digestion cooking liquor and terminating the digestion operation at a time corresponding to the predetermined time required to obtain the given pulp intrinsic viscosity at the aforesaid combined SO.sub.2 to wood ratio.

Low cost system for sensing carbon dioxide content of ambient air. It comprises a thin layer of a chemical reversibly absorbent for carbon dioxide, the pH of which changes in relation with the amount of absorbed carbon dioxide at any time; an indicator present in said film which changes color in accordance with the pH, and a photoelectric system to produce an electric signal proportionate to said color change. In this system substantial independence of humidity is gained by the use as principal solvent in the said thin layer of an ionizing solvent having a vapor pressure in the range of 0-10 mm at temperatures up to 150*F, and compatible with the other components of the system.
