Abstract
The present inventive fluorometer provides a rapid means for accurate sample quantitative measurements by making instrumental calibration measurements during sample equilibration time. Increased speed of equilibration and calibration and simultaneously performing these two functions increases the throughput speed with which individual measurements can be accomplished, thus increasing the number of samples which can be routinely processed. This decreases the cost per test and more importantly renders new treatment protocols possible which require the doctor and patient to be able to know within minutes the level of certain drugs in various body fluids.
