Dual-Channel Quartz Counting Cell: Planning Two Fluid Routes (MQQFC107)
Custom design guide · MQQFC107
Two shallow fluid routes share one quartz plate and four end tubes. The layout gives two observation regions a common mechanical support, while each route still needs its own connection and optical plan.

Plan two observation regions on one support
MQQFC107 places two counting-channel regions on a 75 × 25 × 4 mm quartz plate. Each route has a tube at either end, giving four connections in total. The shared plate is a useful layout to discuss when two sample routes need to be positioned within one mechanical support.
Start by labelling routes A and B, their ports and the areas to be observed. That makes it clear whether a requested change concerns channel spacing, optical position or tubing. The layout alone does not establish simultaneous measurement or independent operation; those are requirements for the complete system.

How the structure differs from a conventional cell
The bulk chamber becomes two thin observation routes accessed from the ends. The nominal 0.2 mm sample path is separate from the 4 mm plate thickness. Sharing a plate gives the routes a common mechanical reference, but the optics and fluid circuit must still address each region in the required way.
Keep the observation coordinates and port map together
If the plate fits a stage but the observation positions do not match the optics, keep the stage contacts fixed and supply the required coordinates. Show the viewed area and illumination direction for each route. We can review those positions with the channels and the solid margins needed for support.
For a tubing change, mark the permitted direction at every port and show hose support. Four connections can occupy more installed space than the plate itself. If the routes must operate independently, include the required isolation check and conditions rather than assuming that two visible channels establish it.

Three checks for the proposed setup
- Route identity. Label A/B, map each port and identify the observation region.
- Stage clearance. Keep support parts and fittings outside the required optical view.
- Fluid requirements. Provide medium, particle characteristics, flow conditions and any isolation criterion.
Check each route before comparing optical results
Plan filling, bubble and residue checks for each route. Where independent operation is required, agree how isolation will be tested with the actual media and conditions. Support the plate and hoses without loading the fine tubes, and choose cleaning for the adhesive-bonded construction and sample residue.
What should a drawing show for a two-route setup?
Show the observation coordinates, route labels, port-to-route map, holder contacts and fitted tubing. Also state whether the instrument observes the routes sequentially or together, and whether isolation is required. These are system requirements to review, not functions established by the plate alone.
Engineering dimension reference
The reference records known external dimensions and configuration notes. Internal geometry, tolerances and operating limits still require a project-specific specification.
