  • Patent number: 11442009
    Abstract: A flow cell for use with an analytical device having a measurement surface onto which a fluid sample to be measured can be received comprises: a housing comprising an interface for connecting to an analytical device; a fluid chamber provided in the housing, the fluid chamber comprising sidewalls at least partly defining an internal volume for receiving a multiphase fluid sample and an opening arranged so as to provide a multiphase fluid sample received in the internal chamber volume to a measurement surface of an analytical device when the housing is connected to the analytical device; and an agitation device. The agitation device comprises an agitation mechanism adapted to agitate a multiphase fluid sample within the internal volume of the fluid chamber and cause movement of the fluid through and within the opening thereby providing fluid to a measurement surface of an analytical device. The agitation mechanism is separated from the internal volume by a barrier wall.
