Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the detection of the degree of contamination in a passage and of a sensor electrode accurately by a simple method by quantitatively measuring the degree of contamination according to differentiated value of a sensor output generated which two kinds of standard solutions are switched. CONSTITUTION:Prior to the analyzing work, an electrode cell 1 is made to communicate with a standard solution A with a low concentration by a changeover valve 14 and as a pump 2 is operated to pour the standard solution A into the electrode cell 1, an electrode 5 outputs a signal of a level L1 proportional to the concentration of the standard solution. Then, with the changeover valve 14 turned to the standard solution B high in the concentration, the potential difference output of the electrode 5 increases in a sharp slope when the degree of the contamination is low while in a gentle slope when it is high. The change in the potential difference output is differentiated with a differentiation circuit 6 and indicated on a display 8 while it is compared with the reference signal by a comparator circuit 10, which actuates an alarm 11 when it is lower than the reference signal. Thus, the degree of contamination can be detected accurately by a simple method.

Prior to analysis work, the electrode tank 1 is connected to the standard solution A with a low concentration by the switching valve 14, and when the pump 2 is activated and the standard solution A is injected into the electrode tank 1, the electrode 5 is proportional to the concentration of the standard ill. Outputs a signal at level Ll. When this reaches a steady value, the first point is calibrated. When this first point calibration is completed, open the electromagnetic JP15 for a short time to form an air layer in the pipe, and at the same time switch the switch go f14 to the standard solution B with a higher concentration. The concentration changes stepwise. As a result, the potential difference output of the electrode 5 is increased on the head side according to the degree of contamination in the flow path, that is, by a steep head image 1 when the degree of contamination is low, and by a gentle slope when the degree of contamination is high. This increasing change in the potential difference II force is differentiated by a differentiating circuit 6 and displayed on a display 8. At the same time, it is compared with a reference signal by a comparator circuit 10, and when it is lower than the reference signal, an alarm 11 is activated.
is activated to promote cleaning of the flow path of the analyzer.

When a potassium solution of Eq/m was injected as the second standard solution, the electrode output when switching between the two standard solutions rose almost vertically (Fig. 3). Next, after analyzing 100 heparin action samples using this analyzer, we alternately switched the two types of standard LFK mentioned above and examined the output from the electrode.The slope became a little gentler, and the differential output was 82% of the differential output immediately after cleaning (II
