    摘要: The invention relates to a method of detecting the presence of a liquid introduced into a mix of constituents. The method comprises the following steps: excitation of the mix by a light signal in the absence of the liquid to be detected; measurement of a fluorescence signal over a time Δt characteristic of the liquid to be detected, so as to produce a reference quantity Ro; introduction of an amount of liquid to be detected in the mix; excitation of the mix by a light signal; measurement of a fluorescence signal over a time Δt so as to produce a quantity R; comparison of the quantity R with a quantity k×Ro. The invention applies to the detection of serum pipetting errors within the context of bioassays, especially immunological tests.

    摘要: A fluorometric titrator has means to transfer a pipette between first and second positions and a buret for a chelating agent has a reversible drive powered either by a pulse generator or an oscillator. Valve controlled means are operable to place the buret in communication with the pipette or a reservoir. In the first position of the pipette, a precise sample volume is aspirated into it by the buret, then driven by the oscillator and in its second position and with the buret drive reversed but still powered by the oscillator, the sample volume is discharged from the pipette into a cuvette in the fluorometer. On the resulting fluorescence the fluorometer output drives the pulse generator to dispense chelating agent and to operate a counter until a selected end point is reached. The pipette is then returned to its second position with the buret drive again operated by the oscillator and during the return, the buret is refilled. Both before the sample volume is aspirated, and before that volume is discharged, backlash is removed from the buret drive. The effect of hysteresis on the photocell of the fluorometer is minimized by light control also enabling the response time of the titrator to be accelerated.

    摘要: The invention is directed to a device for dispensing and observing the luminescence of individual specimens in multi-specimen arrangements, particularly for the examination of biological, chemical or cytobiological assays with high specimen throughput. It is the object of the invention to find a novel possibility for dispensing in multi-specimen arrangements (microplates) and for observing the luminescence of the individual specimens, particularly for examining biological assays with high specimen throughput, which permits an immediate observation of the course of luminescence while dispensing proceeds at the same time without being limited to a determined type of microplate. This object is met, according to the invention, in that the dispensing unit has at least one linear dispensing comb containing an even number of dispensing nozzles representing an integral divisor of the number of wells along one dimension of the microplate, the dispensing combs are arranged so as to be displaceable orthogonal to their longitudinal dimension, every dispensing comb is connected to a controllable pump for metering the amount of liquid to be dispensed without immersion in the wells of the microplate, and the CCD camera is oriented by a fast optical system to a large-area rectangular region of the underside of the microplate across from the dispensing unit, the surface being adapted to the dimension of the dispensing comb and to the area of the microplate covered by the dispensing comb, so that the elapsed time for the luminescence is measurable simultaneously while dispensing continues.
