U.S.A. Stopped-Flow Block Diagrams

Flow Path of the Olis U.S.A. Stopped-Flow

User fires stopped-flow. Flow actuator pushes plunger block. Plunger block pushes drive syringe plungers, forcing approximately 100 µl of each solution into mixing chamber. Stop is caused by stop syringe. Observation is made. Concurrently, any previously mixed solution (spent solution) is forced from observation cell into stop syringe. Prior contents of stop syringe are now in waste syringe.
