ABSTRACT:
The characteristics of a sample body fluid are determined in a chemical analyzer by sensing the transmittance of light by the sample fluid and reagents during a reaction period. A beam of light is directed onto a cuvette containing the sample body fluid and reagent. A portion of the light is absorbed by the cuvette, the sample fluid and reagent. The remainder of the light is transmitted to a sensor which provides an analog electrical transmittance signal proportional thereto. The analog signal is logarithmically amplified, and is applied to a peak detector. A structure adjacent the cuvette provides a strobe signal such that the analog signal always has a peak amplitude during the strobe signal. The peak detector senses the peak amplitude of the analog signal during the strobe signal and the peak amplitude is converted to a digital value representing absorbance.
