Hinged Sample Cover
(type FC1)

The GPR 12-70 is normally supplied with a standard hinged sample cover (type FC1) illustrated below. This very popular cover gives close temperature control when connected in series with the thermostatting fluid flow to the prism jacket. Suitable for all types of sample from water clear solutions to thick pastes.

Material: 316 stainless steel

Sample quantity required: 0.1ml to 0.3ml

For complete versatility we offer a range of alternative cells, all easily interchangeable by the user.

Funnel/Flow Cell
(type FC2)

Clean, quick and easy to use for all samples that will pass easily through a 5.5mm bore tube; each sample is poured into a funnel displacing the previous one. Provided with fluid connections for close temperature control. Can also be connected for continuous flow measurements. Hinged locking mechanism for easy cleaning.

Material: 316 stainless steel with Nitrile O-ring (O-rings made of other materials for special applications can be quoted on request.)

Sample quantity required depends on the sample; about 10 to 20ml for flushing. Static volume approximately 3.5ml including immediate piping.

Non-Contact Sample Cover
(type FC3)

Suitable for the measurement of prepared solid samples such as glass or plastics, also useful for sticky substances as the cover does not touch the sample. Thin liquids can be measured with this cover, but a larger volume is required than with the contacting covers. With this cover, temperature control depends on conduction from the prism and plate.

Material: Delrin

Average sample quantity required: up to 1.5ml for liquids; solids must be specially prepared.

Micro Flow Cell
(type FC7)

This cell has a static volume of about 0.2ml and can be filled and emptied using a hypodermic syringe. It is also ideal for automatic sampling (use, for example, with the Index Instruments Indexpump 300 cell filler/sampler). Close temperature control is possiible with this cell; connect in series with the thermostatting fluid flow to the prism jacket. Hinged locking mechanism for easy cleaning.

Suitable for fluids that will pass along a 1 to 1.6mm bore tube.

Material: (parts that contact the sample) 316 stainless steel, Nitrile O-ring (O-ring can be supplied in other materials - specify the material required or alternatively the application and we will attempt to find suitable materials for you.)

Requires between 2 and 18ml (very much dependent on the sample and, for example, the length of connecting pipes) when used with an automatic cell filler.

With this cell, the sample is prevented from contacting the silicone rubber sealant between the prism and stainless steel top plate. With a suitable choice of O-ring, it can therefore be used for aggressive samples.

Larger Volume Micro-Flow Cell
(type FC7L)


 

This has the same general specification and external appearance as the FC7 type, except that it is fitted with 3.5mm bore sample inlet and outlet tubes. The static volume is about 0.5ml and it will therefore require slightly more sample for complete purging. This version of the micro-flow cell was developed for denser solutions i.e. those, which have difficulty in passing through a 1.6mm bore tube. (Samples which aggressively attack silicone rubber should not be used with this cell.)
Micro-Dot Sample Cover
(type FC6)
Designed with the perfume industry in mind, this cover requires just one dot of sample to make an accurate measurement. Ideal as an additional cover for measuring expensive calibration liquids when your normal sampling method uses a flow cell. It is a non-captive cover without temperature control, relying on conduction from the prism.

Material: 316 stainless steel (handle, Delrin)
