| 1. A fluid analyser system for measuring radiation emitted by a fluid sample comprising:
i) a sealed receptacle containing only the fluid sample;
ii) a consistent light condition chamber in which the receptacle is placed;
iii) a timing device for measuring duration of the scan of the radiation emitted by the fluid sample in the receptacle;
iv) a temperature sensor for determining the temperature of the fluid sample;
v) at least one detector that detects the radiation emitted by the fluid sample, said at least one detector being located
at a predetermined distance from the fluid sample; and
vi) means for translating and magnifying the signal from the at least one detector and enabling identification of the intensities
and the peak intensity values wavelengths of the radiation emitted by the fluid sample, wherein the fluid sample is non-invasively
analysed.
