Abstract
A fluid sample cell for the spectroscopic analysis of a sample includes a fluid-tight sample compartment defined by a radiant energy transmissive top, a side wall, and a bottom having a reflective surface. The bottom is heat conductive and comprises an external surface which defines a hollow well adapted to receive a hot plate. A fluid sample cell is also provided wherein a side wall of a sample compartment defines an entry port and an exit port such that, when the cell is in a substantially vertical position, one of the ports is located above and one below the compartment. A fluid sample cell is also provided wherein a side wall of the sample compartment is provided with a pocket for collecting impurities when the cell is in a substantially vertical position, wherein the pocket is disposed above and/or below the sample compartment. The sample cell can be pivotally connected to a support, whereby a sample can be introduced or purged while the cell is in a vertical position and the sample can be irradiated and a hot plate inserted into the cell when the cell is in a horizontal position. A method for introducing a sample to such a cell is also disclosed.
