Abstract
In a spectrophotometric measuring apparatus sample liquid is pumped into a substantially cylindrical cuvette having an internal dimension such that a meniscus of a leading edge of a liquid sample pumped therethrough is maintained. Radiant energy directed through the sample liquid is directed across the path of fluid flow rather than along the length thereof. Consequently, spectrophotometric measurement is performed using a significantly reduced optical pathlength.
