  • Cuvette conveyor and sensor
    Patent number: 5567387
    Abstract: A conveyor and a method of providing a reaction cuvette using a conveyor, wherein a sensor is included to sense whether more than one cuvette is being conveyed. Because the cuvettes are received from a stack, one at a time, the sensor determines if two stacked cuvettes are present on the conveyor instead of one, by sensing the presence or absence of a cuvette projecting above the top of the desired cuvette.
