Apparatus for monitoring chemical reactions and employing moving photometer means

摘要: Apparatus for measuring progressively the absorbance changes of a large number aliquots from plurality different samples. The sample introduction, testing instructions, aliquot preparation, reagent dispensing, and data recording all can be accomplished in continuous mode processing. Stat batch operation also accomplished. are an array cuvettes which is advanced slowly along circular path. Photometer means, preferably having several photometric detectors, mounted fixed orientation on common support that advances rapidly similar path, such radiation passing through each monitored many times by specific detector time cuvette completes one circuit its detectors operate at wavelengths. Many chemical reactions same time. radiant energy received continuously moving photometer converted electrically into digitized value proportional to transmitted digitally assemblage electrical components stationary receiver. In embodiment, digital transmission form pulsed train light signals. another or more slip rings transmit electric signals portion. Suitable drive elements, storage transfer mechanisms as well laundry means may provided part complete apparatus.
