Definitions
- This invention is related to the field of liquid sampling and testing, and more particularly to a device for taking up a liquid sample for subsequent detection, measurement, and/or analysis .
- Air-Segmented Flow AutoAnalyzer Air-Segmented FAA, by Technicon
- FIA non-air segmented Flow Injection Analyzer
- SIA Sequential Injection Analyzer
- the Air-Segmented FAA method employs a "bubble-segmentation" principle in the main stream of a sampled liquid to "segment", or isolate, the sampled liquid from a carrier liquid, thereby preventing dispersion and dilution of the sampled liquid segment with the carrier flow.
- the FIA and SIA methods use very narrow tubing in the manifold (i.e., mixing and reaction process), so that the dispersion of the sampled liquid with the carrier flow is limited by the "short" analysis time. All of the existing technology require a carrier flow and an injector or an autosampler to insert a fixed volume sample segment into the carrier flow.
- the present invention satisfies the need in the art for an improved liquid sample take-up device.
- a liquid sample take-up device comprising: an outer tube having a fluid take-up end for selective immersion in a liquid to be sampled, and a liquid connection spaced from the fluid take-up end adapted to receive a chemical reagent under pressure, creating a reagent flow toward the take-up end; and an inner tube disposed within the outer tube and having an open end adjacent to the outer tube take-up end, the inner tube adapted to fluid connect to a negative pressure source, higher than the reagent pressure, to create a fluid flow within the inner tube in a direction away from the open end; whereby sampled liquid and reagent are mixed/encountered near the probe tip 11, or more precisely, adjacent the inner tube 3 open end and within the outer tube 7 take-up end, and the mixing continues within the inner tube 3 when the liquid is traveling toward the manifold M. Chemical reaction begins whenever the mixing starts.
- a liquid sample take-up device wherein, when the outer tube take-up end is not immersed in a liquid to be sampled, air is drawn into the outer tube take-up end and into the inner tube open end, creating a series of air bubbles, each bubble separated by a volume of reagent .
- the liquid sample take-up device comprises rigid or flexible inner and outer tubes having circular cross sections and sized relative to one another such that a tubular passageway is defined between the inner and outer tubes, and the reagent progresses between the inner and outer tubes toward the inner tube open end.
- the liquid sample take-up device is constructed and configured in the form of a probe. Due to the nature of the fluid flow through the inner tube, the device may be referred to herein as a bubble- stream probe for use with virtually all types of automated liquid analysis systems, including flow injection analyzers (FIA) and bubble flow analyzers (BFA) .
- FIA flow injection analyzers
- BFA bubble flow analyzers
- the chain of bubbles and reagent between segments of liquid/reagent mix is effective to perform a self-cleaning function for the device, permitting instant reuse of the device without having to dismantle any of the components of the device for independent cleaning between samples.

- SSFA Steady-State Flow Analysis
- the steady-state-flow-analysis liquid sample take-up device will be treated as a bubble-stream probe for convenience of presentation. It will be understood, however, that an arrangement other than in the appearance of a probe may be implemented.
- a fixed Steady-State Flow Analysis (SSFA) station may mount the liquid sample take-up device permanently in position with the liquid take-up tip reciprocally movable by a handle, or the tip may be fixed in position with a reciprocally movable table/container arrangement.
- SSFA Steady-State Flow Analysis
- Figures 1 and 2 are schematic representations of the structure and flow pattern in an embodiment of a bubble- stream probe 1 in accordance with the invention, when the probe tip 11 is open to air, Figure 2 being an enlarged divided view of the top and bottom ends of the bubble-stream probe shown in Figure 1.
- the probe device 1 shown in Figure 1 is designed to uptake a liquid sample into a feed line, or manifold, for automated chemical analysis.
- the probe device 1 comprises two layers of tubing made of Teflon or glass/polypropylene materials, an inner tube 3 and an outer tube 7. While tubing having a circular cross section is preferred, the cross sectional shape may be of any geometric configuration suitable to function in the manner described herein.
- the internal diameter of the outer tube 7 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner tube 3.
- the outer tube 7 has a 3 mm outside diam&fc-er, and a 2 mm inside diameter; and the inner tube has a 1.9 mm outside diameter, and a 1 mm inside diameter, leaving a gap of 0.1 mm between the outer and inner tubes 7,3.
- the length of the outer tube 7 is slightly longer than that of the inner tube 3, and the outer tube has a narrowed tip 11 as best seen in Figure 2.
- Such construction defines a space, or chamber, near the tip 11 of the probe 1, and the narrowed bore at tip 11 holds liquid from dropping or flowing down when the probe is open to air or immersed in a liquid.
- a chamber space 17 The space, or chamber, below the bottom end 13 of inner tube 3 and above the shoulder 15 where the outer tube 7 begins to narrow toward tip 11, is being referred to herein as a chamber space 17. It is to be understood that, if the outer tube 7 is narrow enough to hold liquid within the tube 7, then the narrow tip 11 may not be needed.
- An annulus 19 between the walls of the two tubes 3,7 is filled with chemical reagent 23 which is supplied through a reagent inlet 9 via another peristaltic pump (not shown) to provide a positive pressure and a steady flow rate of the chemical reagent 23 in a downward direction toward the bottom 13 of inner tube 3.
- the bottom 13 of the inner tube 3 has an open end through which air or liquid sample enters, along with reagent, as will be described in detail below.
- the upper portion 5 of inner tube 3 is led to a peristaltic pump (not shown) that generates a controlled negative pressure to ensure the air or liquid entering the system through tip 11 is pumped at a steady flow rate in the upward direction, along with reagent 23 entering the chamber space 17 or the probe tip 11.
- the reagent flow in the annulus 19 is controlled at a rate much JLess than the uptake rate of the inner tube 3, so that the Liquid reagent 23 will not drip out of the tip 11 of the probe 1.
- opening end is not limited to a cut-off end of the inner tube 3. Openings may be provided in the sidewall of the inner tube 13 adjacent its distal end, in addition to, or instead of, a conventional end cut-off opening.
- the bubble-stream probe 1 In operation, when the bubble-stream probe 1 is open to air, the liquid reagent 23 and air forms a stream of bubbles 21. After the probe 1 is inserted into a liquid sample, the air bubbles 21 are replaced by the sampled liquid entering tip 11.
- the liquid sample will be initially mixed with reagent 23 promptly and proportionally in the chamber space 17 immediately adjacent tip 11 of the probe 1. Mixing of the sampled liquid and reagent 23 continues within the annulus 19 by dispersion and diffusion while the liquid is taken up.
- the reagent and liquid sample mixture drawn by a peristaltic pump, progresses toward a manifold or detecting device (not shown) .
- the probe 1 is lifted from the liquid sample source, and a bubble stream again forms immediately.
- the length along the inner tube 3 and manifold M ( Figures 3-8) of reagent/liquid-sample drawn into inner tube 3 is herein referred to as a segment of the liquid sample.
- the generation of a bubble stream between samples simulates a segmentation of drawn liquid samples in order to prevent the carry-over, or residue, of one sample segment with the next sample.
- the sample uptake technology unique to the present invention saves analysis time. Since the reagent is introduced at the tip 11 of the probe 1, the chemical reaction starts instantaneously at contact with the sample liquid, thereby saving precious analysis time. Thus, unlike prior art automated flow analysis systems, in which the sample is taken up or withdrawn by a simple narrow tubing while a reagent is introduced and mixing occurs at a second, downstream, stage, the present invention mixes a wet sample with a reagent in a single stage and starts the chemical reaction at the tip 11 of the probe 1.
- While the invention is fully operative and effective without need for ' a carrier, it can be adapted to any type of automated analysis system, including a flow injection analyzer (FIA, which uses a carrier) and a bubble flow analyzer (BFA) .
- FIA flow injection analyzer
- BFA bubble flow analyzer
- FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the structure and flow paths in a bubble-stream probe embodiment of the invention applied to a flow injection analysis (FIA) procedure.
- a carrier C is provided through carrier inlet 25, drawn into the system by a peristaltic pump 27 and applied to an injector I where the liquid sample and reagent mixture, drawn upwardly by peristaltic pump 31, is carried by the carrier toward a manifold M or detector 37.
- Reagent is supplied from a reagent source 33 through peristaltic pump 35 and into the reagent inlet 9.
- Figure 4 is a schematic representation of the structure and flow paths in a bubble-stream probe embodiment of the invention applied to a Steady-State Flow Analysis (SSFA) procedure.
- chemical reagent is applied to the reagent inlet 9 in the manner described in connection with Figure 3.
- Figure 4 depicts a container 39 of liquid to be sampled, and a peristaltic pump 41 provides the appropriate controlled negative pressure to draw the reagent and liquid sample up through the inner tube 3 and on to the detector 37.
- SSFA Steady-State Flow Analysis
- an optional mixing coil 36 may be provided to homogenize the sample segment and provide time delay for a complete chemical reaction to take place.
- the methodology includes a chemical analysis based on sequentially introduced liquid samples into a continuous reagent flow, and the final chemical product is measured in a continuous manner by a detector 37.
- the loading of a liquid sample S in this manner is based on the "air/sample replacement" principle, and liquid sample segments are isolated by a stream of bubbles in a reagent flow provided between successive liquid sample segments.
- Figures 5, 6, and 7 are schematic representations of the structure and flow pattern in a bubble-stream probe embodiment of the invention applied to a Steady-State Flow Analysis (SSFA) procedure.
- SSFA Steady-State Flow Analysis
- the peristaltic pumps provide the appropriate flow rates for the main stream of air or liquid sample, and for the reagent.
- the purpose of the detecting flow cell 38, associated with detector 37, is to detect the presence of continuous liquid passing through the system (without bubbles) . If a bubble-less flow is detected, i.e., if the detecting flow cell 38 is completely filed with liquid, this is evidence that the flow is ready for analysis.
- the probe tip 11 is not immersed in a liquid to be sampled, and therefore draws air and reagent into the system, creating a series of bubbles in the inner tube 3 and feed line 43 of manifold M. In this condition, the system is in a "standby" mode.
- the probe tip 11 is inserted into a container of distilled water (not shown) to provide a blank flow.
- the detector 37 is zeroed. This typically involves the flow of distilled water through the manifold M, followed by a "standard" solution of know concentratio (s) .
- the samples may be colorless, when mixed with a specific reagent, the substance (analyte) contained in the sample will start a color reaction.
- a photo detector device within detector 37 will produce a photoelectric signal which is proportional to the concentration of the analyte.
- the detector 37 measures photoelectric signals, in volts, proportional to the concentration of the standard solution. Multiplying the measured photoelectric signal by a factor converts the measurement to a concentration. This establishes a concentration "zero" reference based on the standard solution measurement. Once the calibration is completed, the system is ready to measure samples, and all subsequent photoelectric signals detected can be converted to concentrations.
- the probe 1 is then lifted from the distilled water to allow an air/reagent bubble stream to form.
- the system is now ready to take-up a first liquid sample.
- the probe 1 is then inserted into the liquid sample S in container 39, as seen in Figure 6. Immediately, the liquid sample S begins to fill the feed line 43 of manifold M, as the air bubbles are replaced by the liquid sample. As liquid sample is drawn into the system, a chemical reaction starts at the tip 11 between the liquid sample and the reagent and continues as the mixture traverses its path through the manifold M. Filling of the manifold M continues until the liquid sample fills the entire system and the reading of the detector 37 is stable, as shown in Figure 7. A measurement or analysis of the sampled liquid is then made and recorded. Then, the probe 1 is lifted from the liquid sample surface ( Figure 8) , resulting in another air/reagent bubble stream flow, and the system is ready for the next sample.
- Figure 8 is a schematic representation of the structure and flow pattern in a bubble-stream probe embodiment of the invention applied to a Steady-State Flow Analysis
