Abstract:
A sample cell assembly for use in a photometric analysis system has a heat conductive chamber structure enveloped by an electrothermal heating layer. The temperature of a sample inside the chamber is sensed by a temperature sensitive device mounted on the outside of the chamber structure to control the energization of the heating layer. A circulator with the chamber drives the sample in closed circulation paths within the chamber and uniformly distributes the heat transferred thereto from the heating layer through the chamber wall.
