Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A motorized multi-cuvette rotatable carousel positions cuvettes around a stationary axis. A rotatable cuvette holder plate positions cuvettes in the carousel. The cuvette holder plate has spring tensioning elements that hold cuvettes in a precise position within the cuvette holder plate. A cuvette positioning arm is attached to the rotatable carousel assembly. The positioning arm geometrically positions the cuvette for depth-resolved laser-induced fluorescence testing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cuvette positioning system comprising: a motorized rotation stage assembly having a rotatable carousel assembly and a positioning arm assembly, the motorized rotation stage assembly having a motorized translation stage to linearly position the motorized rotation stage assembly in relation to an excitation light source; the rotatable carousel assembly having a plurality of cuvettes around a central shaft, each cuvette of the plurality of cuvettes having a…
