Apparatus and method for verifying the volume of liquid dispensed by a liquid-dispensing mechanism
First Claim
1. A kit for determining the volume of liquid dispensed by a liquid-dispensing mechanism or the flow of gaseous fluid in the vicinity of a liquid-dispensing mechanism, said kit comprising:
- (a) at least one weigh cup;
(b) at least one standard mass, wherein said at least one standard mass comprises an object having a mass of up to 3.3 g, said at least one standard mass capable of being inserted into said at least one weigh cup and capable of being removed from said at least one weigh cup;
(c) at least one transducer assembly to convert a value of weight to a an electrical response; and
(d) at least one electronic circuit for converting said electrical response to a measurement of volume of liquid dispensed.

Abstract
An apparatus for improving the procedure for quantifying the volume of liquid dispensed by a liquid-dispensing mechanism of an analytical instrument. The apparatus of this invention comprises (a) at least one weigh cup; (b) at least one standard mass; (c) at least one transducer assembly to convert a value of weight to an electrical response; and (d) at least one electronic circuit for converting the electrical response to a measurement of volume. This invention provides a method for calibrating readings of the volume of liquid dispensed by a liquid-dispensing mechanism of an analytical instruments so that absolute measurements of the volume of liquid dispensed can be obtained.
