Abstract
Provided are a compact mixing system capable of reducing a use amount of a mixing agent and reducing a volume of a utility that supplies the mixing agent, and a measurement system using the mixing system. The mixing system includes: a mixing agent discharge nozzle through which a mixing agent to be mixed with a sample is to be discharged; and a movable mechanism configured to adjust a gap between the mixing agent discharge nozzle and a sample collection port that opens to an inside of a sample tube through which the sample is to flow so as to collect the sample.
Claims10
A mixing system, comprising:
- a movable mechanism that adjusts a gap between a mixing agent discharge nozzle that discharges a mixing agent to be mixed with a sample, and a sample collection port that is open to an inside of a sample pipe through which the sample flows and that collects the sample;
- a shut off mechanism that is configured to shut off a flow of the sample flowing in from the sample collection port;
- and
- a control device configured to control an operation of the shut off mechanism, wherein
- the control device controls the shut off mechanism so as to shut off flow of the sample when the gap between the sample collection port and the mixing agent discharge nozzle is narrowed,
- a discharge port of the mixing agent discharge nozzle is disposed adjacent to the sample collection port,
- the gap is an interval between the mixing agent discharge nozzle and the sample collection port, and
- the shut off mechanism is a valve.
