Abstract
Apparatus for proportioned feeding of an analysis fluid (7) onto a target (5), ejects fluid onto the target in small quantities pulse-wise out of a nozzle (2) through a nozzle outlet opening (3). The apparatus allows the precise proportioning of analysis fluid quanta which are substantially larger than in the case of the 'drop on demand' methods commonly used to date for analysis fluids, but are smaller than the minimum doses achievable to date with diluters and dispensers. The apparatus includes a pressure chamber (1) in which the analysis fluid is held under pressure, and a valve unit (11) with a valve opening. A closing element is moved by a positioning element. The valve unit (11) is constructed so that the ejection of the fluid is supported by the movement of the closing element (13) during the closure of the valve opening (23).
