Abstract:
A sample cell apparatus for use in spectroscopic determination of an analyte in a body fluid sample includes a first plate member and a second plate member made from an optically clear material. A channel extending into a surface of the first plate member and an opposing surface of the second plate member houses a floating seal, which surrounds a fluid sample chamber. The fluid chamber is closed to define a repeatable optical path-length therethrough by urging the first plate member against the second plate member without compressing the floating seal between the first plate member and the second plate member. The seal channel is vented to prevent fluid pressure from flexing the first plate member or the second plate member. An actuator having an extended foot portion extends over the fluid chamber to help prevent flexing of the first plate member or the second plate member.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 1 , comprising mechanically limiting the predetermined optical path length within a range of +/\u22121 based on a first fixed depth of the chamber into the first plate member relative to the abutment surface of the first plate member and second fixed depth of the chamber into the second plate member relative to the abutment surface of the second plate member.
