    摘要: A photometer for determining the transmission of a liquid sample in a microcuvette (7, 20, 22) has a cavity for a capillary layer of the liquid sample with a free liquid surface extended transversely of the principal plane of the cavity. The cavity is initially prepared with a reagent to achieve a reaction, which affects the transmission of the liquid sample for indicating its contents of a predetermined substance. The photometer has a holder (6) for the microcuvette and measuring means (9, 10) for measuring the transmission of a bundle of rays directed towards the microcuvette. The cuvette holder (6) is mounted on bearings for vibration in a direction having a component, which extends in the plane of the free liquid surface and is parallel with the principal plane of the cavity, thereby achieving a mixing to accelerate the dissolution and the reaction. A method of carrying out mixing in a thin liquid layer, which is arranged between essentially parallel walls at a capillary distance from each other, is provided by subjecting the walls to a motion essentially in the plane of the liquid layer, balancing the motion against the capillary force exerted by the walls on the liquid, and selecting the interface between the liquid layer and the surrounding medium in such a manner that it functions as an elastic membrane.

    摘要: A diagnosis system, which comprises a monitor, comprising means for detecting multiple reflectance readings in an array of individual locations, means for registering an analytical cartridge in the monitor at a fixed location and orientation relative to the array, and means for determining and displaying analytical results from reflectance readings; and an analytical cartridge, comprising a liquid impervious housing, a sample application site in the housing located outside the monitor when the cartridge is registered in the monitor by the means for registering, one or more reflectance reading sites in the housing that register with one or more of the locations in the array, a capillary pathway in the housing leading from the sample application site to each of the reflectance reading sites, and a reflectance matrix located in at least one of the reflectance reading sites. In some embodiments of the invention, control features that optimize accuracy of measurement by controlling when and if sample reaches reflectance reading sites and by drawing excess sample away from undesirable locations in the cartridge are present. One control element balances the liquid-holding capacities of the application site, the sample-transporting capillary passageway that leads to the reflectance reading site, and the porous matrices from which the reflectance reading will be made, so that excess sample is excluded from entry into the cartridge while sample volumes that are below the minimum necessary for accurate operation do not reach the matrix, thereby avoiding false readings.

    摘要: A molecular characterization detector (8) includes a scattering cell (10) containing a sample for molecular characterization, a light source (20) for directing a light beam through the cell (10) so that the light beam is scattered by the sample, optical elements (30, 32, 50, 52) for selecting from the scattered light a measurement beam (40) comprising light that is scattered by the sample from a predetermined portion of the cell (10) in a predetermined range of angles relative to the optical axis (22), and a detector (44) for detecting the measurement beam and providing an output electrical signal representative of the measurement beam. The detector (44) typically selects light scattered from a central portion of the scattering cell at angles in the range of 14° to 16°. A single spherical lens (18) is preferably utilized. As a result, interference from stray scattered light is minimized. A beam dump (24) attenuates the light beam after it passes through the scattering cell (10). Additional detectors (62, 70, 80) detect light scattered at 90° to the light beam. The outputs of the detectors (44, 62, 70, 80) are processed to provide molecular characterization of the sample.
