    摘要: To provide a preprocessing apparatus with a function of stirring and sucking a sample in a sample container carried on a conveyor line outside the preprocessing apparatus.The preprocessing apparatus includes a sampling unit, a unit that stirs a sample before suction, and a stirring operation control unit. The sampling unit includes a sample probe that sucks a sample in the sample container, and is configured to move the sample probe to the sample container set in the sample container setting part and to an external suction location set on a conveyor line located outside the preprocessing apparatus. The unit that stirs a sample before suction includes a stirring probe which stirs a sample in the sample container, and moves the stirring probe at least to the external suction location or a location upstream of the external suction location on the conveyor line. The stirring operation control unit is configured to control operation of the sampling unit and the unit that stirs a sample before suction so that a sample in the sample container is stirred by the stirring probe before the sample is sucked by the sample probe.

    摘要: A system and method for chemical analysis are described herein. The system includes a probe, a sample collection cartridge, and a chemical analyzer. The probe is configured to collect the optimal amount of sample for a future analysis and to store this chemical sample in the sample collection cartridge. The probe also collects sample data. The chemical analyzer is configured to determine the optimal analysis settings based on the sample data and analyze the chemical sample stored in the sample collection cartridge based on the optimal analysis settings.

    摘要: Composite sampling of a fluid flowing through a conduit includes collecting, in a vessel coupled to the conduit through which the fluid is flowing, a first discrete sample of fluid from the conduit, the first discrete sample having a first selected volume, and collecting, in the vessel and at a first interval from the first sample, a second discrete sample of the fluid from the conduit, the second discrete sample having a second selected volume, thereby forming a composite sample in the vessel while the vessel is coupled to conduit. The composite sample includes the first discrete sample and the second discrete sample, and may include one or more additional discrete samples. An apparatus for collecting the composite sample includes a gas chromatograph, and is arranged such that the composite sample is provided to the gas chromatograph without removing the composite sample from the apparatus or transporting the composite sample.
