To decrease the reagent-consumption rate of continuous-flow analyzers, I constructed a device that allows standby operation. The device, when actuated by switching off the sampler, decreases the effective pumping rate to less than 1/15 normal. The bubble pattern remains virtually undisturbed, and the system can be immediately restarted for emergency use. During five months of use in our laboratory with a Technicon platelet counter, the device was decreased reagent consumption by 60%, while allowing 24-hour-a-day operation. There have been no analytical errors traceable to the device, and no mechanical problems have arisen. I describe the use of the device in a continuous-flow system for determination of creatinine.
为降低连续流动分析仪的试剂消耗率，我构建了一种可实现待机运行的装置。该装置在关闭采样器启动时，可将有效泵送率降低至正常水平的十五分之一以下。气泡模式几乎不受影响，系统可立即重启以应急使用。在我们实验室使用Technicon血小板计数器的五个月期间，该装置使试剂消耗降低了60%，同时实现了全天24小时运行。未发现可追溯至该装置的分析误差，也未出现机械问题。我描述了该装置在连续流动系统中用于测定肌酐的情况。
