The present invention allows a sample urine to enter an entry hole formed on a shell and to flow through a flow pathway. A part of the sample urine remains in a groove of the flow pathway as collected urine. A measuring module in the shell includes a first side and a second side. The first side includes a light emitting unit and a light sensing unit. The second side includes a lens. The lens is mounted in the groove. The light emitting unit generates a detection beam. The detection beam passes the lens, the collected urine, a reflective mirror, the lens again, and into the light sensing unit. The light sensing unit receives the detection beam and generates a sensing signal. The processing unit generates a detection result signal according to the sensing signal, and a display unit immediately displays a test result of the sample urine.

A flow cell system includes a vessel and a fluid located in the vessel. A fluid surface of the fluid can be vented to a first gas pressure. The fluid surface can have a first cross-sectional area. The flow cell system includes a conduit in fluid communication with the vessel and positioned downstream of the vessel. The conduit can have a region that includes one or more orifices and has a second cross-sectional area. The second cross-sectional area can be less than the first cross-sectional area. The one or more orifices can be vented to a second gas pressure. The second gas pressure can be equal to or greater than the first gas pressure. Methods for analyzing a process fluid can include characterizing the fluid in the conduit.

A breath analyte capture device includes a breath input port into which a user exhales a breath sample, and a cartridge insertion port for receiving a disposable cartridge containing an interactant. During exhalation of a breath sample, at least a portion of the breath sample is routed through the cartridge such that the analyte (such as breath acetone) is captured by the interactant. In some embodiments, the concentration of the analyte in the breath sample is measured by monitoring a chemical reaction that occurs in the disposable cartridge. The chemical reaction may be monitored by illuminating the cartridge at each of multiple light wavelengths while measuring reflected light.

Aspects relate to an optical fluid analyzer including a fluid cell configured to receive a sample fluid. The optical fluid analyzer further includes optical elements configured to seal the fluid cell on opposing sides thereof and to allow input light from a light source to be sent through the fluid cell and output light from the fluid cell to be input to a spectrometer. The optical fluid analyzer further includes a machine learning (ML) engine, such as an artificial intelligence (AI) engine, that is configured to generate a result defining at least one parameter of the fluid based on a spectrum produced by the spectrometer.

For analyzing a sample containing particles of at least two categories, such as a sample containing blood cells, a particle counter subject to a detection limit is coupled with an analyzer capable of discerning particle number ratios, such as a visual analyzer, and a processor. A first category of particles can be present beyond detection range limits while a second category of particles is present within respective detection range limits. The concentration of the second category of particles is determined by the particle counter. A ratio of counts of the first category to the second category is determined on the analyzer. The concentration of particles in the first category is calculated on the processor based on the ratio and the count or concentration of particles in the second category.
