Abstract:
A method and apparatus for chemical analysis is disclosed that uses a sample cup insert. The insert is pre-coated with a reaction agent, enzyme, or chemical to facilitate testing of the sample. A sample fluid in the sample cup is agitated by fluid pulsing (804) to speed the reaction or to speed a pre-conditioning step.
Abstract:
A cell for chemical analysis is disclosed that increases the surface area over standard discrete cells for approximately the same sample volume. The surface area is pre-coated with a reaction agent, enzyme, or chemical to facilitate testing of the sample. The cell may be in a configuration to contain any toxic reaction agent after use.
