    摘要: A system is provided that includes a tray having a number of compartments for holding liquid samples and partitioning the liquid samples from one another. The liquid samples are prepared by adding an indicator configured to produce a characteristic change in light from the liquid samples when a target microbe metabolizes the indicator while the liquid samples are incubated. The system also includes a light sensor for sensing light from the liquid samples held in the tray while the plurality of liquid samples is incubated. The system further includes a processor coupled with the light sensor and configured to analyze the light from the liquid samples while the liquid samples are incubated to detect the characteristic change in light from one or more of the liquid samples if the target microbe is present in the liquid samples.

    摘要: A system includes a sample selector device, a chromatographic column selectively connectable to the sample selector device, and a spectrometry analysis device selectively connectable to the sample selector device. The sample selector device is configured to supply multiple individual samples to the chromatographic column to separate components of the individual samples. The sample selector device is also configured to store the separated components of the individual samples. The sample selector device is further configured to supply the separated components of the individual samples to the spectrometry analysis device. In embodiments of the disclosure, the components of the individual samples can be chromatographically separated while the spectrometry analysis device is offline.

    摘要: This disclosure is directed to a system and method relevant to sampling halosilanes or other water-reactive samples. In embodiments, a system for hydrolyzing samples includes a container with a receiving liquid (e.g., an HF solution) contained therein and an actuator coupled with the container. The actuator can be configured to rotate the container, thereby inducing a vortex in the receiving liquid. The system further includes a sample tube configured to direct a halosilane sample into the vortexed receiving liquid. The sample tube can be oriented to release the sample in a flow direction of the vortexed receiving liquid.

    摘要: A system for determining an analyte by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) includes a sample introduction device having a heated cyclonic spray chamber. The system is configured to introduce sample that includes a metal and/or a metalloid having an organic interferent. The system also includes an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry device with a collision/reaction cell configured to receive a mixture of gases including both ammonia and hydrogen. A method includes introducing a sample to plasma to produce a characteristic spectrum associated with an elemental composition of the sample. The method also includes introducing both ammonia and hydrogen to a collision/reaction cell to remove carbon-based interferences to detection of the sample prior to determining the elemental composition of the sample.

    摘要: Valve assemblies are described that provide flow paths in substantially indirect opposition for fluids injected into the valve assemblies for mixing. A valve assembly includes a first valve member having ports configured to receive a first fluid and a second fluid. The valve assembly also includes a second valve member coupled adjacent to the first valve member. The valve assembly defines a first flow path for the first fluid and a second flow path for the second fluid. The first flow path extends from one of the ports of the first valve member toward an interface between the first valve member and the second valve member, and the second flow path extends from a channel defined by the second valve member toward the interface between the first valve member and the second valve member. The second flow path is in substantially indirect opposition to the first flow path.
