Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the continuous measurement of the concn. change of a biochemical material. CONSTITUTION:A buffer soln. and a standard soln. of specified concn. of the biochemical material to be measured are accumulated respectively in bottles 8, 9. A sample contg. the biochemical material to be measured flows through a tube from a direction (g) at all times into the bottle 10. A control section 6 injects respectively the specified volumes of the liquids accumulated in the respective bottles into a reaction section 1 by controlling selector valves 4, 5 and a liquid feeder 2. The output signal level of a sensor 12 rises when the standard liquid or sample liquid is injected into the reaction section 1. The control section 6 calculates the concn. in accordance with the value of the output signal when the rising speed is maximized. Namely, the specified volume of the sample liquid is automatically injected into the reaction section 1 and the concn. is determined by the changing speed of the sensor output signal with the device. Then, the continuous measurement is possible.

However, in such a conventional biochemical measuring device, since it is necessary for the measurer to weigh the sample, the change in the concentration of the biochemical substance is continuously changed at sufficiently short time intervals. It could not be measured. Moreover, the reaction time of the sensor was long, and continuous measurement was impossible in that respect as well. As a result, the conventional biochemical measuring device could not know the fluctuation of the urea concentration in the dialysate during artificial dialysis and the fluctuation of the glucose concentration in the blood of the patient during surgery.
