Abstract

Only two computer-controlled microsolenoid devices, namely two micropumps or one micropump and one microvalve, are sufficient for the construction of on-line dilution modules useful in several flow analytical systems for the calibration using single standard. Three simple constructions of such modules were tested and compared. The most promising is the one based on the concept of a microvalve controlling dilution ratio of the standard and a solenoid micropump playing a double role: solution pumping device and mixing segments homogenizer. All investigated modules were tested with paired emitter detector diode (PEDD) as photometric flow-through detector and bromothymol blue as a model analyte. The best module was implemented into more advanced flow-injection system dedicated for optical detection of alkaline phosphatase activity using UV-PEDD-based flow-through detector for the enzyme reaction product.
