Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0332732A2] The proposed device consists of a capillary tube (2, 2 min ) with a microcell (3, 3 min ) above it, integral with the tube and having parallel transparent surfaces. The capillary tube (2, 2 min ) may be equipped with a micropiston (4) that can be inserted at its base, to push up the liquid contained in the capillary tube (2, 2 min ) and introduce the desired amount into the microcell. The microcell (3 sec ) may be divided into a narrower lower chamber (31) and a wider upper chamber (32); a container (37), with a suitable chemical reagent, the bottom of which (39) can be pierced or cut, may be placed inside said lower chamber. It is also possible to identify the microcell with a label (42) that can be read by a scanner contained in the analyzer and may also carry information on the analysis parameters. The related sampling and analysis procedure is also described.
