Flow-injection analysis is a precise, elegant, and economical technique, but its most troublesome feature is the mode of injection of the sample slug. We describe an alternative approach in which the sample is aspirated by the sample probe. In the simplest version the probe normally rests in reagent; when sampling is to take place, the pump is stopped and the probe is transferred to the sample container. The pump makes a predetermined angular movement, the probe is returned to reagent, and the pump is restarted. In more advanced versions the same approach is combined with the merging zone technique. The system is economical, precise, and capable of full automation in a multichannel discretionary analyzer.
In vitro cervical dilatations were carried out on 33 uteri removed by hysterectomy for conditions not involving the cervix from parous women in their reproductive span of life. A specially designed force measuring dilator was used for all the tests. The analysis of the results involved the application of a thick-walled cylindrical stress determination technique. Using this approach it was possible to calculate quasi-elastic moduli for different degrees of dilatation and obtain theoretical distributions of radial and circumferential stress across the cervical wall. These results indicated a yielding of the cervical tissue at about 9 to 11 mm. dilatation in a significant number of cases.
