[An optical sensor for analyzing the flow of biological particles in chromatographic processes]

The design of an optic flow sensor operating in the UV spectrum is described. The sensor is intended to monitor changes in the size and/or concentration of light-diffusing particles against the background of low-molecular admixtures, as well as for analysis of these admixtures. The sensor has been employed in gel chromatography and adsorption chromatography of virus-containing suspensions.
