Sample Plate for fluid analysis in a refinery process

摘要

There is provided a sample plate for use with a portable apparatus containing at least two different analytical devices, said plate (1) comprising (i) a receiver (2) for a fluid to be analysed; (ii) at least two fluidic channels (6,7) each adapted to transfer a portion of said fluid or a component or reaction product thereof from said receiver (2) to one of said analytical devices contained in said associated portable analysis apparatus; (iii) at least one sensor (13) capable of responding to a physical or chemical property of said fluid or a component or reaction product thereof, and/or at least one sample cell (14) for containing a sample of said fluid or a component or reaction product thereof for spectroscopic or optical analysis; and (iv) at least one additional fluidic channel (11,12) adapted to transfer a portion of said fluid or a component or reaction product thereof from said receiver to said at least one sensor (13) and/or sample cell (14).
