AN APPARATUS FOR ANALYSING FLUID TAKEN FROM A BODY

摘要

The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for analyzing fluid taken from a body, and more in particularly for analyzing body fluids from mammals. The analysis apparatus is coupled to a dairy system for milking of cows, wherein it is useful to analyze the status of the milk. The apparatus is preferably located as early as possible in the production chain in order to obtain results as close as possible to the cows. Hence the environment in which the apparatus is to be used may be harsh towards internal apparatus modules or consumables, therefore the apparatus is isolated and the internal environment is conditioned regarding humidity, temperature as well as the amount of ammonium. Furthermore the steps for analyzing milk is automated inside the apparatus in order to avoid influence from the external environme nt.
