Automatic, Field Portable Analyzer Using Discrete Sample Aliquots

US Patent:
7704457, Apr 27, 2010
Filed:
Nov 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/599571
Inventors:
Charles J. Patton - Evergreen CO, US
International Classification:
G01N 21/00, G01N 31/00, G01N 21/64, G01N 35/00, G01N 35/08
US Classification:
422 63, 422 67, 422 81, 422 8205, 422 8207, 436 43, 436 52, 436 55, 436164, 436172, 436180
Abstract:
An automated apparatus and method for analyzing liquid samples by forming discrete sample aliquots (boluses) in an elongated conduit which contains a hydrophobic carrier liquid. Aliquots may be analyzed by adding at least one reagent to the sample aliquot that reacts selectively with an analyte contained therein. The reaction product, which is selective for the analyte of interest and proportional to its concentration, is measured with an appropriate detector. Intrinsic sample properties of the sample may also be measured without the need for adding chemical reagents. The invention enables simple and accurate testing of samples using time honored wet-chemical analysis methods in microliter volume regimes while producing remarkably small volumes of waste.
