The apparatus also includes apressure-difference producing element which, through the action of a pressure-difference, is capable of delivering a sample along a tube extending from the samplingelement. The apparatus also includes an analyzer capable of performing an analysis on asample drawn from the sampling element. The analyzer is in flow communication with thesampling element by way of the tube. According to the method, a mixture consisting of amedium and a compound drawn from the organ is delivered to the analyzer for asubsequent analysis, and at least some of the mixture is returned from the analyzer backto the sampling element.
