- the lower end is suitable for use in a microscope for examination of sediments in the flattened portion.
- the tube is suitable for use together with a centrifuge for concentration of the sediments in the flattened portion.
- the suggested tube provides a simple way of applying a sample to a sample holder to be inserted into a microscope for examination of the sample.
- the suggested tube is to be filled using a pipette or similar and after centrifugation and sedimentation the surplus fluid is to be disposed before incision into a microscope.
- the fluid e.g. urine
- the tube is to be inserted into the microscope by hand, making automatic replacement of a tube difficult or impossible.
- an optical bubble detector comprising an optics block formed with a V-shaped recess, and a clamp block.
- the optics block and clamp block cooperatively press or “sandwich” the flexible tubing into the V-shaped recess and deform it into a triangular prismatic cross- section.
- a generally U-shaped optical interrupter element containing a photo emitter and a photo sensor, fits into the optics block in such a manner that a light beam is directed radially into the triangular tubing section.

- Fig. 1 shows a flexible tube
- Fig. 2 shows the flexible tube in compressed state
- Fig. 3 shows different version of a positioning grove
- Fig. 4 shows the flexible tube in connection with a water pipe
- Fig. 1 shows a flexible tube which may be used in a system according to the present invention.
- the tube has an outer diameter 102, an inner diameter 101 and a tube length 103.
- the tube may be made of a flexible material such as optical grade Silicone.
- Fig. 2 shows the flexible tube 100 inserted into a flattening element 200 comprising a first flattening element 201 and a second flattening element 202.
- the two flattening elements are made of a transparent material such as glass.
- the two flattening elements 201 and 202 are pressed together to flatten the flexible tube 100.
- the flattening of the tube 100 changes the shape of the tube 100 from being circular to an oval-like shape with two parallel flat surfaces.
- a measurement volume 210 comprising first border 21 1 and second border 212 is defined within the flexible tube 100 between the two parallel surfaces. The distance between the two parallel flat surfaces depends on the force applied by the flattening element 200.
- the position of the first border 21 1 and the second border 212 do not depend on the distance between the parallel surfaces.
- the size of the measurement volume is therefore changed with the distance of the parallel surfaces. If the distance is small, the measurement volume 210 is small, and if the distance is large, the measurement volume 210 is correspondingly large.
- the measurement volume 210 may thus be adjusted to fit the desired measurement parameters.
- the first flattening element 201 closest to the optical microscope is flat, but other shapes may also be utilized, such as a wedge or a lens. Also other optical elements may be included in the flattening element, such as a polarization filter, density filter or wavelength filter.
- the second flattening element 202 may be flat, but may also have other shapes, such as in embodiments where the second flattening element is optically only used for illuminating the tube 100.
- Fig. 3 different types of a flattening element 202 is shown.
- Fig. 3A a standard flat flattening element 202 is shown, while in Figs. 3B-3E flattening elements 202 comprising a positioning groove 203 is shown.
- Fig. 3B a circular shaped positioning groove is shown.
- Fig. 3C a V-shaped positioning groove is shown, while the positioning groove in Fig. 3D is formed as a recess in the flattening element 202.
- the positioning groove is to help position the flattened tube exactly at the measurement position of the optical microscope.
- the positioning grove may be combined with an optical element, such as a lens, a wedge, a polarization filter, a density filter, a wavelength filter or an aperture as shown in Fig. 3E.
- the combination of a positioning groove and an optical element may be accomplished by selecting the inner wall of the flattening element to be a positioning groove and the outer wall to e.g. have a lens shape (concave or convex). Further, the material of which the flattening element is made may have a filter function.
- Fig. 4 the flexible tube 100 is shown in a setup for on-line monitoring of bacteria in tab-water.
- the setup comprises a pipe 500 comprising water from the water works.
- a shunt 510 comprising a flexible tube 100, a tube pump 400, a first clamp 521 and a second clamp 522, and a tube holder 410 comprising a flattening element 200 is connected to the pipe 500 via an inlet 530 and an outlet 540.
- the first clamp 521 is positioned upstream relative to the flattening element 200, while the second clamp 522 is positioned downstream relative to the flattening element 200.
- the first clamp 521 and/or the second clamp 522 may be positioned as close to the flattening element 200 as practical possible so that the volume within the tub between the two clamps is as small as possible. This will decrease the time for the fluid to stop flowing and being ready for measurement.
- the tube pump 400 is activated to suck water at the inlet 530 from the pipe 500 through the flexile tube 100 and to the outlet 540. During operation of the tube pump, the first clamp 521 and the second clamp 522 should be opened. After activation of the tube pump 400 for a period of time, the tube 100 has been filled with water from the pipe 500, and the tube pump 400 is
- the water in the tube 100 is at stand still during measurement, and to ensure this the first clamp 521 and the second clamp 522 is activated to stop the water in the tube to flow.
- the flattening element 200 is now activated to flatten the flexible tube 100, until the required distance between the inner walls of the tube has been achieved.
- the measurement procedure is started.
- the measurement procedure may comprise an optical sectioning of the measurement volume.
- the flattening element may be activated before or during the activation of the pump.
- the flattening element may also be arranged to provide a substantially constant tube thickness during a procedure, wherein a plurality of measurements are performed.
- the distance between the inner walls of the tube should be changed to optimize the measurement procedure. If e.g. it is determined that the concentration of bacteria in the tab water is very low, a larger volume could be measured. The distance between the walls of the tube should therefore be large. If the concentration between to measurements starts to increase, it may be desired to decrease the measurement volume, to get a lower bacteria count. After changing the inner wall distance, the measurement procedure is continued.
- the water in the flexible tube 100 should be replaced with a new sample. This is done by first deactivating the flattening element 200 to release the tube from being flattened, then opening the clamps 521 and 522 and activating the tube pump 400. After a period of time, the water in the flexible tube 100 has been completely replaced with a new sample of water, and the tube pump 400 is be deactivated and the two clamps 521 and 522 is activated to stop the water flow through the flexible tube 100.
- tube pumps There are several different types of tube pumps. If the tube pump is if a type wherein the fluid is completely stopped from flowing when the pump is deactivated, the two clamps 521 and 522 may be omitted.
- the outlet 540 from the flexible tube 100 may be connected to the same pipe as the inlet 530.
- the tube pump may be necessary for replacing the fluid sample in the flexible tube. If the outlet is connected to another pipe or a drain or similar, the tube pump may not be necessary, as the fluid pressure at the inlet compared to the fluid pressure at the outlet may be sufficiently higher to press a new sample into the tube replacing the existing one.
