  • Publication number: 20210349052
    Abstract: An electrolyte analyzing device with which an electrical effect does not occur has a housing to which a reference potential is applied and a flow passage which is electrically insulated from the housing. The analyzing device delivers a sample solution to a first electrode, and delivers a reference electrode solution to a second electrode. A reagent vessel placement unit which is electrically connected to the housing, has placed thereon a diluent bottle accommodating a diluent, an internal standard solution bottle accommodating the internal standard solution, and a reference electrode solution bottle accommodating the reference electrode solution. The reagent vessel placement unit includes a suction nozzle comprising an electrical conductor which is joined to the flow passage, and which can be inserted into and removed from each of the diluent, internal standard solution and reference electrode solution bottles. And, an insulator electrically insulates the suction nozzle and the housing.
