Abstract

L'appareil de prélèvement d'échantillon de liquide prélève un échantillon d'un liquide et conserve l'échantillon en vue d'une analyse optique. L'appareil peut comprendre un support qui est traversé par un conduit d'échantillon. Le support peut avoir une forme allongée et deux ferrules peuvent être placées à l'intérieur du support le long de l'axe longitudinal de ce dernier. Une extrémité de chacune des ferrules peut s'étendre dans le conduit d'échantillon formant un rétrécissement du conduit, ce qui retient le liquide et l'empêche de s'échapper avant l'analyse. Les extrémités opposées des ferrules peuvent être chacune reliées à un câble optique. Les câbles optiques peuvent être connectés à un dispositif analytique, par exemple, un spectromètre. L'appareil peut être monté dans une cuvette de toilettes où il peut prélever et analyser un échantillon d'urine.
