Abstract

A temperature regulating apparatus which increases optical sensitivity and resolution of a liquid in a reaction chamber by heating while providing rapid cooling to prevent vaporization of the liquid within the reaction chamber. The apparatus includes a heat exchanger containing the reaction chamber and an insulating chamber surrounding the heat exchanger. A coolant may be passed through the heat exchanger to prevent boiling should a change in liquid flow make such occurrence likely. The change in liquid flow is monitored by an analyzer monitor, and the temperature in the reaction chamber is changed accordingly.
