1. An apparatus for the multiple analysis of gases which emit light when reacted with other gases, the apparatus comprisinga plurality of chemiluminescence reaction chambers (1a, 1b) from each of which reaction chamber light is emitted when gases react therein;
- a single photodetector (3);
an optical reflector (2) having a reflecting surface contained in a plane;
means for mounting said optical reflector for rotational motion about an axis which forms an acute angle with the plane containing said reflecting surface; and
drive means for moving said reflector in rapid sequence between a plurality of positions such that said light

Abstract
An apparatus for the multiple analysis of gases which can react with another gas to produce emission of light has at least two reaction chambers (1a, 1b), a single photodetector (3) and an optical redirection system (2) with a reflection surface movably mounted between the reaction chambers for sequentially and rapidly redirecting the light from the two reaction chambers onto the single photodetector for evaluation.
