Apparatus for measuring light scattering of a sample

The present disclosure describes an apparatus of measuring light scattering of a sample. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes (1) at least one display logically coupled to an enclosure housing a light scattering measurement instrument, where the at least one display is configured to allow for operating the instrument to acquire light scattering data from the sample and for accessing the data, (2) an indicator connected to an outside surface of the enclosure, where the indicator is configured to indicate at least one status of the instrument, (3) a sample chamber configured to accommodate at least one sample cell, where each of the at least one sample cell has a unique size and a unique shape, and (4) and a sample door connected to the enclosure, where the sample door is configured to seal the sample chamber, thereby providing thermal insulation to the sample chamber.

Measuring light scattering of a sample

A new liquid flow cell assembly for light scattering measurements is disclosed which utilized a floating manifold system. The assembly operates with minimal stacked tolerances by aligning the cell to the windows within a manifold and independently aligning the cell to the read head directly. This configuration enables the ability to replace the flow cell or the flow cell/manifold assembly within a light scattering instrument without the need to realign the flow through elements with the light scattering illumination source while still maintaining reproducible, quality data. Some embodiments employ wide bore cells which enable the measurement of process analytic technology (PAT) including online monitoring of reactions.
