Abstract:
The present invention is a cuvette assembly for use in optically measuring at least one characteristic of particles within a plurality of liquid samples. The cuvette assembly comprises a main body having internal walls and external walls, and a plurality of cuvettes within the main body at least partially being defined by the internal walls. Each of the plurality of cuvettes has a liquid-input chamber for receiving a respective one of the plurality of liquid samples, a filter, and an optical chamber for receiving a respective filtered liquid sample caused by passing the respective one of the plurality of liquid samples through the filter. Each of the optical chambers includes an entry window for allowing transmission of an input light beam through the filtered liquid sample and an exit window for transmitting a forward scatter signal caused by the particles within the filtered liquid sample.

Claim (Index 28):
A cuvette assembly for use in optically measuring at least one characteristic of particles within a plurality of liquid samples, comprising:\n a main body having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion having a plurality of openings, each opening for receiving a respective one of the plurality of liquid samples, each of the plurality of openings leading to an associated liquid-input chamber, and wherein the lower portion includes a plurality of optical chambers, each optical chamber being in fluidic communication with one of the liquid-input chambers, each optical chamber having an entry window for allowing transmission of an input light beam through the respective liquid sample and an exit window for transmitting a signal caused by the particles within the respective liquid sample; and a frangible membrane separating the liquid input chambers from the plurality of openings, the first frangible membrane creating a seal between the liquid input chambers and the openings, the first frangible membrane being operable to be pierced to allow one of the plurality of liquid samples to flow into one of the liquid-input chambers.
