APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING QUALITY OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C12M1/34 G01N33/02 C12Q1/02 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of controlling quality of organic and inorganic products, and can be used to evaluate safety of food and fodder products, natural water and waste water, ground, soil, determining the maximum allowable concentration of contaminants, as well as the impact of human activities on the environment, including oil extraction and refining products. The apparatus consists of a computer with a software system and a biodetector. The biodetector has a housing 1 inside of which there is a displacement controller for a board 2 with containers 3 for test objects, a light source - light-emitting diodes 4, an optical system with a television camera 5 and a lens 6 mounted on a support 7. The apparatus is provided with a light-proof casing 8 for closing the top of the board with containers for test objects, the inner surface of which is coated with white paint. The optical system with a television camera 5 and a lens 6 is mounted on the support 7 by a turning mechanism 9 in form of a ball head. Inside the housing 1 there is a stepper motor 10 for rotating the board 2 with containers 3.

EFFECT: invention increases measurement accuracy while reducing the measuring time, simplifying the design and reducing the size of the apparatus.
