Abstract:
The present invention discloses a flow cell optical detection system comprising a light source, a flow cell and a light detector, wherein the light detector is arranged in a separate detector unit that is arranged to be releasably attached to a detector interface, the detector interface being in optical communication with the light source and comprises optical connectors for optically connecting the flow cell and the detector unit in the light path from the light source, and wherein the flow cell is an interchangeable unit arranged to be held in position by the detector unit when attached to the detector interface.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to a sampling device, and more particularly, a sampling device that facilitates spectroscopic measurements with a variable path length and the necessary software controlled algorithms and methods for such a device.

Abstract:
A device for automatically analyzing samples by a colorimetric procedure may be particularly used for blood analysis. A reaction ring bearing at its periphery an array of transparent reaction cups is stationary. An optical fiber is mounted on a rotating disk, concentric with the reaction ring and downwardly oriented with respect to the top of a cup, the optical fiber having one end at a central location where it receives light from a stationary light source and its other end opposite a bottom of a reaction cup in alignment with a measuring photomultiplier.
Abstract:
Subsurface contaminants are readily and inexpensively detected and measured by means of a test head positioned at the subsurface site and forming a protected test chamber for the liquids to be tested. The head encloses the end faces of fiber optic elements which carry radiation to the liquid sample from a test instrument located at the surface and which return radiation from the sample to the instrumentation. A connector positioned at the surface decouples the head from the instrumentation, so that the same instrumentation can service a larger number of test sites.
