Sample splitter

摘要

A device for splitting a sample, in particular a time-inhomogeneous sample, into two or more representative fractional samples, as well as a sample taking system with a sample splitter and a sample taker, wherein the sample splitter has a first pump (1, 201, 301) with a first flow rate and at least one second pump (2, 202, 302; 215) with a second flow rate, wherein the first pump and the at least one second pump (2, 202, 302; 215) co-act, so that the inhomogeneous sample on its passage through a conduit system (3, 203, 303) is at the same time split up into at least two representative fractional samples.

1. A device for splitting a sample, in particular a time-inhomogeneous sample, into two or more fractional samples, the device comprising:
a sample chamber with an inlet through which the inhomogeneous sample is received; a first pump having a first flow rate; a second pump having a second flow rate, configured for bidirectional operation; and a conduit system, having at least one conduit and at least one outlet, the at least one conduit connected to the sample chamber, the first pump and the second pump, so that the respective pumps, operating in a co-acting manner, move the sample from the sample chamber, split the sample into two or more representative fractional samples and deliver the two or more fractional samples to at least one of the at least one outlets.
