TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR CENTRIFUGAL ANALYZER

摘要

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for providing close temperature control for the spinning, rotating cuvette and sample distributing disc assembly of a high speed centrifugal analyzer or comparable rotating head device by circulating a temperature conditioning fluid through the rotating assembly. This method of temperature control assures rapid thermal response of the rotor and sample so that precise temperature control and stability is provided for the rotor, cuvettes and test specimens in the rotating assembly. The conditioning fluid may be any fluid and it may either raise or lower the temperature of the assembly.
