Cell analysis apparatus, e.g. for microorganisms, to determine biological activities and/or physiological parameters, based on sample chamber comprising vertical PVC well receiving cuvette and probes

摘要

Cell analysis apparatus has a sample chamber comprising a vertical well of PVC, with holes evenly distributed around its side-wall to allow entry of probes, which receives a cuvette having in its side-wall holes extending opposite to the holes in the well, so that the probes can enter the interior of the cuvette (which contains the sample to be analyzed). In cell analysis apparatus comprising a measuring cell with a sample chamber containing probe(s) connected to measuring and electrical signal processing devices, the measuring cell comprises a vertical well (8) of PVC, open at the top and closed at the bottom. The well has holes (9) evenly distributed around its side-wall to allow probes to enter the interior of the well. The probes are fixed in sealed manner into the well and extend through a support (12), uniformly distributed around and fixed to the well. The well can receive a cuvette (10), of similar cross-section to the well and having in its side-wall holes (11) which extend opposite to the holes (9) in the well when the cuvette is in the well. The probes can thus enter the interior of the cuvette, which contains the sample to be analyzed.
