An assembly for dispensing a liquid within an automated analyser system, the assembly comprising an injector body 20, at least one valve (23; fig 6a) in a valve block 30, and at least one sensor in a sensor portion 40 for sensing a property of the liquid. Preferably, the injector body comprises the sensor portion. The at least one sensor may be one of a flow sensor, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, or a conductivity sensor. The injector body further comprises an outlet nozzle 22 and a supply port (21; fig 6a) which is connectable to a pump. Ideally, the supply port is connected to the outlet nozzle via a liquid channel wherein the at least one valve resides inside the channel and the at least one sensor is in fluid contact with the channel. Electrical lines 31, 43 may connect the at least one valve and sensor to a power supply. Ideally, the assembly is manufactured in a single piece. The assembly may further comprise means 11, 11a for attachment to a dispensing portion of an automatic analyst system. |
