Summary:Methods and apparatus are provided for determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample, such as an analyte in a sample of bodily fluid. In some embodiments, a method for maintaining clear passageways in an extracorporeal blood flow system includes intermittently providing one or more anti-clotting agents to a passageway of the extracorporeal blood flow system. In some embodiments, an extracorporeal blood flow system includes a passageway and a device operatively connected to provide one or more anti-clotting agents to a least a portion of said passageway. L'invention concerne des procédés et des appareils permettant de déterminer la concentration d'un analyte dans un échantillon, par exemple d'un analyte présent dans un échantillon de fluide corporel. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne un procédé permettant de maintenir les passages libres dans un système de circulation sanguine extracorporelle, ledit procédé consistant à introduire de manière intermittente un ou plusieurs agents anti-coagulants dans un passage du système de circulation sanguine extracorporelle, et un dispositif raccordé de manière fonctionnelle pour distribuer un ou plusieurs agents anticoagulants dans au moins une partie dudit passage.
