Method and a system for determination of components of a substance
First Claim
1. A method to determine the presence of at least one component in a liquid substance by means of spectroscopy comprising the steps of illuminating the substance by means of light with at least one definite wave length within the almost infrared wave length area and detecting transmitted and/or reflected light and analyzing the detected light characteristics, said detecting being performed during an extremely short time period such that a step response corresponding to an approaching or fading light pulse passing through the liquid substance is detected.

Abstract
A method and system for determining the presence of one or more components in a liquid substance including illumination of the substance utilizing a light with at least one definite wave length preferably within the almost infrared area and detecting transmitted and/or reflected light and analyzing the detected light wherein the detection is performed extremely fast so as to detect a step response corresponding to an approaching or fading light pulse transmitted or reflected through the substance.
