- a further development is characterized by the following additional steps: e) cleaning the measuring surface of the ATR body, f) contacting the cleaned measuring surface of the ATR body with the surface of a liquid present in a second recording device, g) measuring the liquid sample, containing at least one IR-active ingredient using an infrared measuring device, comprising passing IR radiation emanating from an infrared light source through the ATR body and detecting the signals emanating from the ATR body in at least one of them
- Detection unit and h) removing the measuring surface of the ATR body from the surface of the liquid, wherein after step g) and / or h) the detected signals in an evaluation unit for the purpose of qualitative and / or quantitative determination of at least one ingredient of the liquid sample are evaluated ,
- the steps e) to h) are repeated at least twice and in the case of high sample throughput series, wherein a new liquid sample to be measured is present in the receiving device in each case.
- the cleaning step e) can take place, for example, in such a way that in a first step e ⁇ a Aufhahmevortechnisch on a sample holder with a rinsing or cleaning liquid is filled, which then in a second step e 2 ) with the measuring surface of the ATR body reversibly brought into contact.
- additional method steps are provided which can be followed, for example, by steps d), e) and / or h): i) introducing a reference liquid, in particular at least one drop of the reference liquid, into a third receiving device of the sample holder, j) contacting the measuring surface of the first or second ATR body with the surface of the reference liquid to be measured in the third sampling device, so that preferably one K) measuring the reference liquid containing at least one IR-active reference ingredient using an infrared measuring device, comprising passing IR radiation emanating from an infrared light source the ATR body and detecting the signals emanating from the ATR body in at least one detection unit, and

- Suitable detection units and devices for storing larger amounts of data are well known to those skilled in the art.
- the measuring surface of the ATR body can be successively brought into contact with the surface of the liquid samples to be measured.
- the measuring surface of the ATR body is first cleaned after each contact with a liquid to be measured, preferably by bringing it into contact with the cleaning or rinsing liquid present in a receiving device.
- the measuring surface of the ATR body is brought into contact with a reference liquid at least once before recording the measurement of liquid samples present in the recording devices and / or during the measurement of a multiplicity of such liquid samples. In this way, a calibration or recalibration can be made.
- the reference liquid also serves as a rinsing liquid, whereby both the material as well as the process cost can be further reduced.
- the Aufhahmevoriquesen present on a sample holder are first filled with the liquid samples to be measured and optionally the rinsing and / or reference liquid, i. the steps a) and optionally e ⁇ ) and / or i) are preceded. Subsequently, the sequences of steps b) -c) -d) and optionally f) -g) -h) and / or j) -k) -l) are then used. These sequences can be repeated as desired or combined with each other.
- recording devices can be filled alternately according to the following pattern: measuring liquid, rinsing liquid, ..., measuring liquid, rinsing liquid, etc.
- the sequence can provide: reference liquid, rinsing liquid, measuring liquid, rinsing liquid,..., Reference liquid, measuring liquid, Rinsing fluid, etc.
- the respective liquids can be combined in any desired sequence.
- the measurement result can be further optimized by the fact that the measuring surface of the ATR body after contacting with the present in a Trohahmevortechnik to be measured liquid with a cleaning liquid, which is another, in particular adjacent, Aufhahmevortechnisch on the sample holder is brought into contact.
- the measuring liquid is generally measured only for a period of 1 to 60 seconds. Measuring times of 2 to 30 seconds are usually sufficient for a sample, even measuring times in the range of 1 to 3 seconds are readily available. Due to the small sample volumes and the very short measuring time per sample, sample holders can easily be used which have more than 100, for example 500 to 1000 or 1000 to 2000, recording devices.
- Particularly reliable measurement results occur when a multiplicity of liquid drops present on a sample holder in holding devices are measured successively, in particular automatically. It is also of particular advantage that at least one liquid to be measured represents a reference sample. Moreover, it can be provided that the measuring surface of the ATR body is subjected to a drying step after a measuring step and / or a cleaning step.
- the present invention was based on the surprising finding that a very high mass throughput can be achieved even with a non-contact optical measuring method for the determination of ingredients in liquids, even when using sample volumes in ⁇ l range, without the accuracy suffers ,
- a further advantage is that a sample preparation or evaporation or drying of the sample is eliminated and it is also not dependent on the use of analysis reagents.
- the method according to the invention allows a linear calibration over a very wide measuring range. Also eliminates the generally necessary dilution series.
- the miniaturized design of the ATR unit and the concomitant low measurement volumes allow the use of the method according to the invention in neonatal and paediatrics, where so far mainly test strip methods are used due to the small amount of blood available.
- these methods are much too inaccurate and also not very reliable.
- relatively large amounts are required, for example, in the measurement of blood by conventional methods, amounts in the lower ⁇ l range are already sufficient for reliable measurements by the method according to the invention.
- Another advantage here is that only very small volumes of reference solution is required, which compared to conventional methods brings a significant cost savings. In any case, it can be ensured with the method according to the invention that the number of reference measurements is no longer reduced beyond the required level to the detriment of accuracy.
- a further advantage is that with the device according to the invention, the liquid samples to be measured can be measured very promptly for sampling. This is significantly noticeable, for example, in the determination of the glucose content in the blood. If, for example, a measurement is delayed, a too low glucose value is determined due to the glucose breakdown continuing in the blood sample. As a rule, it is sufficient to prepare the blood samples to be measured, to provide them with an anticoagulant. Optionally, agents that inhibit glucose degradation, such as sodium fluoride, may also be added.

- An ATR body 4 is positioned in such a way above the Aufhahmevortechnik 8 that its measuring surface 14 can come into contact with the liquid droplet 12.
- the drop of liquid 12 rests on the support surface 16 of the Aufhahmevorraum 8 and is limited by the peripheral edge 10. Due to surface tension phenomena, the liquid drop 12 protrudes in vertical alignment beyond the edge 10 and is thus available for contact with the measuring surface 14 of the ATR body 4.

- the positioning device 18 is capable both of aligning the sample holder in the vertical direction, as well as after completion of the measurement of the Drop 12, ie after the sample holder 2 has been lowered, continue to move it horizontally until the next, preferably adjacent, suction device containing a drop of liquid 20 comes to lie directly below the measuring surface 14 of the ATR body 4. Then, the positioning device 18 can approach the sample holder again to the measuring surface, but without it comes to a contact of the measuring surface 14 with the edge 10 of the Aurhahmevorraum 8.
- the embodiment of the inventive analysis device 1 according to FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1 solely in that not an ATR body 4 but a multiplicity of ATR bodies 4, 4 ", 4" 'are present. In this way, the mass flow rate can be increased considerably again.
- FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a sample holder 2 of a device 1 according to the invention.
- This sample holder 2 has a rectangular base area with a total of 96 Aufhahmevortechniken 8, which are present in an 8 x 12 field (indicated).
- the field which is moved up first to the measuring surface of the ATR body may contain a drop of a reference liquid KA, with which the device is first calibrated.
- the following in the series Aumahmevorraum then contains a cleaning liquid R 5 to which in the following Aufhahmevoroplasty a first liquid to be measured M follows.
- Figure 4 shows an alternative sample holder 2, on which the Aufhahmevortechniken 8 are arranged on a circumference.
- the Mean Time to Browse Ratio For the movement of Aufhahmevortechniken in the desired position is sufficient for an angle motor.
- it is of particular advantage that it can easily be used fully or semi-automatically for a continuous operation mode.
- already measured measuring liquid or once used cleaning or reference liquid from their receiving devices disposed of and optionally cleaned and then again with liquid to be measured or cleaning or Reference liquid are filled.
- FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of a sample holder 2.
- rows of receiving devices 8 are arranged substantially in a star shape.
- a positioning can be effected by a rotation of the sample holder under an ATR body.
- sample holders in any geometry and arrangement of the individual receiving devices for the device according to the invention can be used.
