Classification: CPC B  C  G | IPC B  C  G

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for determining a characteristic of a sample, comprising:
a light source configured to provide a light;
a measurement volume, wherein the sample passes through the measurement volume in order to be measured;
an optic device configured to direct the light through the measurement volume, wherein the sample passing through the measurement volume interacts with the light directed through the measurement volume, thereby resulting in a detectable change in the light;
only one detector configured to detect the detectable change in the light in two modes; and
a processor operably coupled to the detector, wherein the processor executes computer-readable instructions to determine a characteristic of the sample based on the detectable change in the light detected by the detector.
