DISPOSABLE CUVETTE ARRAY A cuvette array including a plurality of compartments circumferentially spaced about a central point, in which the array is disposable and formed from upper and lower discs of flexible thermoplastic material. The lower disc is formed with compartments, and the upper disc is bonded to the lower disc, closing off a portion of each of the compartments. A locator ring is removably positioned upon the upper disc in one of a plurality of registered positions, and has portions thereof varying in light transmissivity that are used for signal processing purposes and to denote a primary one of the compartments. Preferably the locator ring is slotted on its outer periphery for signal processing purposes; alternatively, the assembly of upper and lower discs may terminate in an outer circumferential flange extending radially outwardly from the compartments and which is slotted. |
