Abstract

The disclosure concerns a method for operating an automated analyzer, including transporting a liquid containing a plurality of particles into a chamber, such as a reactor chamber and/or measuring cell chamber of the analyzer, introducing a gas or gas mixture, for example, air into the chamber, such as through the liquid present in the chamber so that the particles in the liquid are stirred up, and subsequently draining at least part of the liquid from the chamber through a fluid line ending in the chamber and an open valve arranged in the fluid line.
