METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE CONCENTRATION OF COMPONENT IN INSPECTION LIQUID USED FOR WET-TYPE FLUORESCENT MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING

摘要

Provided is a method for measuring the concentration of a component in an inspection liquid. In the method, the inspection liquid is stirred and drawn into a transparent measurement container (3). Then, the inspection liquid in the measurement container (3) is irradiated on one side thereof with beams of light from light sources (4a, 4b) to capture transmitted beams and visible radiations emitted by excitation. The transmitted beam and the visible radiation are used to measure the concentration of each component in the inspection liquid on the basis of each of the detected values that are provided by detectors (5, 7) for detecting the transmitted beam and a detector (6) for detecting the visible radiation emitted by excitation. The method also measures the concentration of each component in the inspection liquid on the basis of variations in the detected values provided by each detector, the variations resulting from the different sedimentation properties of each component with time.
