Abstract:
A fluid analyzer includes an optical source and an optical detector defining an optical beam path through an interrogation region of a fluid flow cell. Flow-control devices conduct analyte and reference fluids through a channel and the interrogation region, and manipulate fluid flow in response to control signals to move a fluid boundary separating the analyte and reference fluids across the interrogation region. A controller generates control signals to (1) cause the fluid boundary to be moved across the interrogation region accordingly, (2) sample an output signal from the optical detector at a first interval during which the interrogation region contains more analyte fluid than reference fluid and at a second interval during which the interrogation region contains more reference fluid than analyte fluid, and (3) determine from samples of the output signal a measurement value indicative of an optically measured characteristic of the analyte fluid.

Claim (Index 13):
The fluidic cell of  claim 1 , further comprising a second inlet channel connected to the flow channel, the inlet channel and second inlet channel containing first and second fluids respectively flowing into the first flow channel, and a flow channel barrier separating the first and second fluids when flowing in the flow channel, the flow channel barrier moving in the flow channel in response to pressure changes of the first and second fluids.
