Liquid analyzer
First Claim
1. A device for electrochemically analyzing a body fluid which includes in combination(a) a frame (52),(b) module (10) on said frame (52), said module including a measuring line (14) containing a channel for the body fluid and at least one measuring electrode (18) and at least one reference electrode (16),(c) a carrier (80, 46) containing a plurality of measuring pads (48),(d) means for the controlled movement of said carrier (80, 46) towards said measuring line (14) and pressing it against said measuring line (14) and(e) means for moving the said carrier (80) back and forth relative to the measuring line (24) when the measuring pads are out of contact with the measuring line (14).

Abstract
The invention relates to an analyzer for liquids with at least one module (10) including a measuring line (14) having a reference electrode (16) and at least one measuring electrode (18). Measuring pads (48) borne by a carrier (80) can be pressed onto the measuring line; when out of contact therewith, they can be moved to and fro. The carrier may be elongated and adapted for sliding along a guiding rod (76). A spring-biased bar parallel thereto is pivotable and guides the carrier (80) as the latter is moved, e.g. when engaged by a tappet (68) of a motor-driven crank disk (66). A module chamber (30) is flow-connected to the measuring line (14) via a capillary aperture (28) in a flexible supply tube (26). Expediently, the capillary aperture (28) limits the leakage of an electrolyte in the chamber (30) to a maximum rate of 0.1 μl per 24 hours at ambient pressure and ambient temperature.
