    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system handling treating liquid which can correctly measure microvolume of a transfer liquid that is to be dispensed, by measuring the corresponding change in pressure. SOLUTION: The microvolume liquid treating system 10 includes a microdispenser 16 employing a piezoelectric transducer attached to a glass capillary; a positive displacement pump 12 filling a transfer liquid into the microdispenser and sucking the transfer liquid from the microdispenser, controlling the pressure of the liquid of the system, and cleaning the microdispenser between liquid transfers; and a pressure sensor 14 for measuring the pressure of the liquid of the system and producing a corresponding electrical signal. The pressure signal is used to verify and measure the volume of the transfer liquid which is dispensed, and to perform automated calibration and diagnosis of the microdispenser.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for counting nuclear scintillations particularly the activity in a specimen containing tritium segregates the pulses which are emitted from a scintillator due on interaction with a nuclear particle from the pulses attributable to random noise. The system uses a single photomultiplier (12), the output of which is split among a two-path circuit (22, 32). A pulse height analyzer (46) provides an output when one path (32) has an integrated output signal of preselected amplitude when the other path (22) output has a preselected number of component photon response pulses occurring in a preselected period of time. The system is operable with many scintillation materials as long as the characteristic output from the scintillator is long relative to the duration of a random noise pulse. The preferred embodiment incorporates a solid scintillator although a liquid material may be substituted if the functional criteria are satisfied. Also discussed is the response of an apparatus in accordance with the present invention if some relatively high energy isotopes such as carbon-fourteen are tested.

    Abstract: A method of detecting the presence and position of radio isotope material in a sample is described comprising the steps of: exposing the sample to a phosphor, repetitively imaging the phosphor onto an image intensified CCD camera, scanning the camera CCD array and interrogating the charge pattern thereon following each exposure, performing measurements on the data signals obtained thereby to identify clusters of data values from adjacent regions of the array caused by light emitted by the image intensifier onto those regions and comparing the measurements with threshold values and parameter values so as to distinguish clusters resulting from light emitted as a result of radioactive decay events energising the phosphor, from other light producing events, computing the centroid of each cluster of data values identified as a radioactive decay event with reference to the camera array and storing the centroid coordinates in a memory together with the centroid coordinates of any other radioactive decay produced clusters identified during the same interrogation. Coordinates from each of a succession of interrogations of the same sample are stored in an accumulation store, which can be read out to give a list of recorded events and/or used to produce a display of the events superimposed on an outline of the sample. The samples are carried on fibre optic plates in conctact with the photocathode and event coordinates are stored in memory as they are detected, so that the dispaly is updated as the events occur. Low noise bi-alkali material is used for the photocathode and the CCD camera is operated in inverted mode to reduce noise.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing or limiting damage to capillaries used to dispense microdrops measures the voltage produced by a piezoelectric transducer when the capillary contacts a solid surface or the phase shift occurring when the piezoelectric transducer is operated at its resonant frequency. After distinguishing the voltage created from such contact from the voltage produced from unrelated random sources, corrective action is taken, in one aspect by stopping the relative movement of the capillary and the surface being contacted. The method and apparatus may also be employed to determine the position of a solid or liquid surface.
