MODULAR FLUOROMETER

摘要

Described and claimed is a modular fluorometer and a method of using same to control an industrial water system, wherein said modular fluorometer comprises: one or more units with each unit comprising: a channel comprising an optically appropriate cell through which a water sample flows; a light source positioned outside said optically appropriate cell; an optional excitation filter positioned between the light source and the optically appropriate cell; a reference detector positioned outside the optically appropriate cell; an emission detector positioned outside the optically appropriate cell; an optional emission filter positioned between said emissi on detector and said optically appropriate cell; wherein if more than one unit is present in said modular fluorometer, said optically appropriate cells throug h which said water sample flows are aligned such that only one channel through which a water sample flows exists in said fluorometer.
