Apparatus for mobile collection of atmospheric sample for chemical analysis |
摘要 |
Portable devices and related methods for collecting and storing atmospheric samples for subsequent chemical analysis are provided. A sample cartridge according to one implementation includes self-sealing inlet and outlet ports configured to close automatically when not in use, and a sample retention portion between the inlet and outlet ports that is adapted to trap an atmospheric sample. The sample cartridge may also include a memory device for recording data regarding the sample. Another embodiment provides a portable sampler configured to removably secure a self-sealing sample cartridge. A portable sampling device may also be used with an analytical instrument. The analytical instrument may analyze the sample and read the data recorded on the sample cartridge's memory. |

1. A portable sampler for collecting a sample, the portable sampler comprising:
a portable housing having an interior portion, wherein the portable housing is configured to removably secure a sample cartridge within the interior portion, the sample cartridge having a self-sealing inlet port and a self-sealing outlet port, the portable housing further configured to open the self-sealing inlet port and the self-sealing outlet port when the sample cartridge is secured therein; a sample inlet in communication with an area outside the housing and configured to establish fluid communication with the sample cartridge when the sample cartridge is secured; a pump configured to draw a sample into the sample cartridge through the sample inlet when the sample cartridge is secured; a processor configured to operate the sampler; an input/output interface; and a detection trigger configured to detect the presence of at least one predetermined chemical, the processor being further configured to take a sample when the detection trigger detects the presence of the at least one predetermined chemical. |
