ABSTRACT:
A flow-through cell for spectroscopy has very small dead-volume and is designed for minimal mixing. Windows at each end of the optical cell formed in a massive block are swept by the true flow, with outlets and inlets into the cell being tortuous and having at least a part parallel to and defined by the window. The windows may be held in the block by angular screw means engaged in blocks which are of a different material from that of the rings. The body of the optical cavity is between 0.4 mm and 6 mm in diameter and has a length between 1 cm and 15 cm to be traversed by an analyzing beam. The operating range is typically from between 20.degree. and 270.degree. C. and over a pressure range of from between vacuum and 2000 PSIG.
