Abstract:
An analysis system includes a plural chamber cuvette assembly that holds chemical materials and is adapted to receive an unknown to be analyzed in one of the chambers, a record that specifies information as to the nature of the stored chemical material and the type of analysis to be performed, and photometric instrumentation for performing a chemical analysis that responds to the material in the sample chamber in the cuvette assembly and the record. The instrument is automatically calibrated in response to information specified by the record and an analysis is performed automatically merely in response to the operation of a single control.

Abstract:
1335482 Sample cells for optical apparatus INSTRUMENTATION LABORATORY Inc 17 May 1971 [12 June 1970] 15283/71 Heading G2J An optical cuvette assembly is designed for use in automatic photometric apparatus as described in Application No. 15284/71. The assembly is made of glass, polyolefin, polycarbonate or acrylic material and comprises a handle portion 62 and three chambers 60. It tapers inwardly towards its base and is formed with optical surfaces 70, which define optical cells which are of equal path length for all three chambers. A prefered material for the assembly is TPX methylpentare polyolefin having 25 per cent transmission at 3400. The assembly is supplied containing reagent in one or more of the chambers 60 so that it is specific to a particular type of analysis, information about which is secured to the surfaces of handle portion 62. Test and standard samples may be introduced into the chambers by breaking frangible sections 74 in the cover member 48 which has previously been ultrasonically welded to the body. Interlock tabs 76 are provided on the top of handle portion and can be broken off as required to provide coding information to control the incubation period after addition of test sample etc.
Abstract:
A dispenser system for introducing a precise amount of material to be analyzed into a container includes a sample chamber, and apparatus for storing material in the sample chamber. A data record is associated with the container and operation of the storage apparatus is controlled in response to the data record to store a precise amount of material in the chamber which is then transferred to the container for analysis.
Abstract:
An atomic absorption spectroanalysis system includes a burner for generating a flame, two radiation sources, and two pairs of radiation sensors. An optical system passes radiation from each source along a first path through the flame for sensing by a corresponding sensor to produce an I signal, and along a second path outside the flame for sensing by a corresponding second sensor to produce an Io signal. The radiation output of each source is modulated and the output signals from each sensor are demodulated and then logarithmically combined to provide two log I/Io signals. Compensation circuitry connected to the logarithmic circuit arrangement provides compensation for radiation absorption deviations of the radiation passing through the flame as a function of Beer''s Law. The system also includes circuitry for providing a zeroing adjustment of each log I/Io signal while a known standard or blank is being introduced into the flame.
