Automatic determination of fluid volumes in e.g. microtitration plates employs pulsed ultrasonic radar system to measure liquid depth relative to reference measurements from carrier, plate edge and cell base

摘要

Automatic determination of fluid volumes, comprising making at least one reference measurement on the upper edge or upper area of a cell, at a point on a microtitration plate carrier, and/or at the base of an unfilled cell, is new. These determine spacings from the ultrasound transceiver. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding equipment.
