Abstract
This invention this invention is a device and method for validating the identity of a liquid in a container that is transparent to light, while the liquid is in the container, without physically invading container. The liquid is particularly suited for validating vaccines such as the vaccine for COVID-19. The invention uses light from a refractometer and/or nephelometer, passing into and reflected out of the transparent wall of the container, to characterize the liquid.
Claims20
A system for validating the identity of the liquid contents of a transparent container, comprising:
- a.) an optical device adapted to measure an optical property of the liquid contents of the transparent container, without physical invasion of the container, and without removing the liquid from the container, to provide a value for the optical property;
- and
- b.) a comparator that compares the optical property to a standard value, to validate the identity of the liquid contents of the transparent container.
A method of validating the identity of the liquid contents of a transparent container, comprising the steps of:
- determining an optical property of the contents of a container of known content without physically invading the container and without removing the contents from the container,
- determining an optical property of the contents of a container of unknown content without physically invading the container, and without removing the contents from the container, and
- comparing the optical property of the contents of a container of known content, with optical property of the contents of a container of unknown content.
