Definitions

  • This invention relates to a flow cell providing a plurality of detection zones for measuring the light absorption of a liquid comprising a sample relative to a reference liquid.
  • Detecting cells by measuring light emitted or absorbed by the cells is a long known process. Such detection is utilized for cell separation by optical, mechanical or electrical means in complicated devices like FACS or TYTO machines.
  • Basis for photometric cell detection is the measurement of radiation - either by absorption or light emitted by a cell marker after excitation - which depends on the concentration of cells and the path length of the light through the sample.
  • measurement of light should be performed in the so called “linear detection range" of the detector. In other words, if the intensity of light to be measured is either too low or too high, the detection process might become unreliable.
  • Object of the invention was therefore to provide a flow cell for a photometer in which the length of the path of light through a cell sample can be adjusted in certain, discrete ranges without the need of mirrors or mechanical devices.
  • Object of the invention is a flow cell comprising a light source (4) a detector for light (5), having
  • a sample channel (1) connected to openings (2,3) for input and output of a sample
  • each the light source (4) and the detector for light (5) at least two detection zones (6,7,8), where in use, the light emitted by the light source interacts with the sample
  • sample channel is configured that
  • the detection zones are positioned in the path of light of the light source the non-detection zones are positioned out of the path of light of the light source and
  • detection zones and non-detection zones are positioned in an alternating sequence in the sample channel
  • the flow cell consists at least in the portions located in path of light from a monolithic transparent material.
  • the term "flow cell consists at least in the portions located in path of light from a monolithic transparent material” relates to a flow cell which is manufactured from a homogeneous material without (optical) interfaces between different materials. For example, placing several cuvettes into the path of light would result in several interfaces between the surfaces of the cuvettes and in the end, undesired diffraction of the light between the interfaces.
  • the flow cell consists at least in the portions located in path of light from an optical homogenous material without interfaces or voids having a different refraction index as the transparent material.
  • the detection zones are located in path of light and are not considered as different material.
  • the flow cell according to the invention can be used for detecting, i.e. determining the amount or the concentration of any sample solved or suspended in a liquid as long as the sample absorbs light emitted from the light source i.e. an absorption relative to a reference liquid can be measured.
  • the flow cell is provided with an appropriate light source and a detector for the light emitted by the light source.
  • the light source is preferable an LED with a small angle like 1 - 5° of the light cone.

  • the flow cell In order to achieve maximum yield of the light emitted by the light source, the flow cell should be at least in the portions located in path of light transparent for the light emitted by the light source. For example, most polymers have an absorption maximum at about 400 nm and 1600 - 1800 nm. On the other hand, most cells have an absorption maximum at around 250 to about 600 nm and around 1500 nm. Accordingly, the transparent material of the flow cell has preferable a transmittance for light having a wavelength of 450 to 900 nm of at least 70%.

  • the transparent material may have a refractive index of 1.4 to 1.6.
  • the length of the path of light is adjusted be the flow cell of the invention. This is achieved by combining at least two, preferred 3 to 8 detection zones and the appropriate non-detection zones as already disclosed.

  • detection zones (6) and (7) in Fig. 6 provide different lengths for the path of light.
  • the sample channel In order to provide the detection zones within the path of light and the non- detection zones out of the path of light, the sample channel needs to change direction (in view of the direction). This may be achieved by a helix-shaped sample channel, where at least two turns of the helix are located in the path of light and serve as detection zone. All parts or turns of the helix not located in the path of light can be used as non-detection zone.

L'invention se rapporte à une pile à circulation comprenant un canal d'échantillon (1) ayant • - des ouvertures (2, 3) pour l'entrée et la sortie d'un échantillon • - au moins une ouverture pour une source de lumière (4) et un détecteur de lumière (5) • - au moins deux zones de détection (6, 7, 8), où la lumière émise par la source de lumière interagit avec l'échantillon • - au moins une zone de non-détection (9, 10) caractérisée en ce que le canal d'échantillon est configuré de sorte • - que les zones de détection sont positionnées dans le chemin de lumière de la source de lumière • - que les zones de non-détection sont positionnées hors du chemin de lumière de la source de lumière et • - que les zones de détection et les zones de non-détection sont positionnées dans une séquence alternée dans le canal d'échantillon, • - et la pile à circulation étant constituée au moins des parties situées dans le chemin de lumière d'un matériau transparent monolithique. La pile à circulation peut servir à la détection de la concentration de cellules dans un liquide d'échantillon.
