2 HARDWARE

This Chapter describes the RX2000 hardware, covering the basic layout and main components of the accessory.

2.1

Basic layout

Figure 2.1: schematic of the RX2000

A schematic of the RX2000 is shown in Figure

. The unit is designed to be compact and easy to use, allowing

stopped-flow measurements to be obtained with UV-visible spectrometers, fluorimeters and CD polarimeters with
the minimum amount of setting-up. It comprises a base in which the electronics, battery and LCD temperature
display panel are located. Attached to the top of the base is a reagent handling system with thermostat bath and
this is connected to a specialised cuvette via an umbilical. The sealed thermostat bath incorporates a window
