OPTICAL VOLUMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF A DISPENSED FLUID

摘要

A method and system for optical measurement of a volume of dispensed fluid may be provided such as in connection with the calibration of pipettes. The method and system may include utilizing a fluid receptacle, an image recording device, and an image processing application to provide optical measurement of the volume of the dispensed fluid. The fluid receptacle may include a first plate and a second plate. The first and second plates may include respective opposing surfaces spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance to define a space between the opposing surfaces. At least one of the first plate and the second plate may be substantially transparent to ensure that the dispensed fluid received in the space of the fluid receptacle is visible to the image recording device.
