AN ASSAY APPARATUS WITH MULTIPLE DETECTORS

摘要

The present invention relates to an assay apparatus for detecting substances in a liquid carrier. The apparatus comprises a sample input means and a plurality of primary detector means located in a flowpath. The plurality of primary detector means consists of at least two different detectors selected from the group consisting of: a) fluorescent detectors; b) UV spectrometers; c) infra-red spectrometers; d) Raman spectrometers; e) other spectrometric detectors; f) electrolyte determination detectors; and g) other electro-chemical detectors. Each primary detector means is located in a separate detector pathway of the flowpath.
