II GeMSAEC Fast Analyzers Increased Rateof Analysis by Useof a 42-Cuvet GeMSAEC1 FastAnalyzer

Sample analysis rate for a GeMSAECFastAnalyzer is directly proportional to the number of sample cuvets contained in each rotor. GeMSAECFast Analyzers are available having either 15-,16-,or 30-placerotors. To increase the sample analysis rate, an advanced GeMSAECFast Analyzer has been designed and fabricated that uses a 42-place rotor. The 42-placerotor, in orderto accommodate the increased numberof cuvets, is a modified enlarge. mentofthe previously described 15-placerotor [N. G. Anderson, Science 166, 317(1969)].The hardware of the 42-placesystem is fully compatible with the existing GeMSAECcomputer module, and existing software used in the 15place system has been modified for use with the 42-placesystem. Results obtained for various chemical and enzymatic analyses are discussed.
