Recording component of treated coagulant automatically - using measurement shaft with integral photometer, agitator drive and controlled heating element

摘要

Coagulant in temp. controlled coagulation pipes is coated with lyse-activated reagent and the resulting products intermittently agitated in a magnetic stirring system. The increase in the transmission of light is measured photometrically. A measurement shaft 82) which holds the coagulant pipes (1) contains an integral photometer (3,8) and an agitator drive (6,7) in its base. A minimum distance must be maintained between the base of the shaft and the photometer plane and an intermittent agitator drive must be ensured in order to eliminate disturbances by floating coagulant. A controlled heating element (5) is also integrated into the measurement shaft system at its base. USE/ADVANTAGE - Enables the automatic recording of a component of treated coagulant for which previously no method of recording has existed.
