Conclusion
The experimental prototype of a scanning multiplexed absorptiometer allows for high sample throughput and a wide range of reaction times.
Supporting Evidence
- The system can monitor reactions over a wide range of times, allowing for flexibility in testing.
- Shorter observation times can be achieved for fast reactions by mechanically locking the absorptiometer beam.
- The prototype was presented at the Tenth International Congress of Clinical Chemistry in 1978.
Takeaway
This study describes a new machine that can quickly analyze many samples at once, making it easier for hospitals to get test results fast.
Methodology
The system uses a scanning multiplexed absorptiometer to monitor reactions over a range of 18 seconds to 34 minutes, with a throughput of a fresh sample every 24 seconds.
