摘要: Apparatus is disclosed for quantitating relatively small amounts of a clinically significant compound which had been fluorescently tagged. The apparatus has transparent cell holding prepared liquid sample (which includes fluorescent particles). A light source generates stable beam that focused on the in so causes emissions by particles sample. intensity function and concentration detector optical communication with receives senses photons defining emissions. number sensed counted total count from over fixed time period measure microcomputer system further including primary microprocessor interfaced via latches buffers data bus to memory, pheripherals, major subassemblies.
