Abstract:
Method and apparatus wherein a series of fluid samples separated one from another and each segmented in a flowing stream by inert immiscible fluid segments may have such segments optionally removed with the further option of removal of all or some of the segments before the stream passes through a conduit forming at least part of an analysis station, and at which analysis station the flow of such a sample may be stopped.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for reaction-rate analysis wherein a fluid sample, which has been treated to undergo a reaction, is flowed into a conduit and then flowed out of the conduit in the reverse direction so that the first sample portion which enters the conduit is the last sample portion to leave the conduit. The outflow of the conduit is to an analysis station wherein a constituent of interest of the sample is quantitatively analyzed.
