Abstract[English]
The invention relates to a sample analysis system with lens defogging apparatus. The system comprises a plasma torch device (200) comprising a body defining a plasma chamber (202) and a plasma torch (201) supported by the body in the plasma chamber (202). The plasma torch (201) is electrically coupled to a power source and operable to form a plasma in the plasma chamber (202) from a sample fluid when energized. The system further comprises a spectrometer (300) configured to analyze the plasma to measure an analyte of interest in the sample fluid via light emitted by the plasma. The spectrometer (300) includes a light collection tube (301) in visual communication with the plasma chamber (202), the light collection tube (301) including a proximal end and a distal end equipped with a lens (302) configured to collect light emitted by the plasma. The light collection tube (301) is at least partially inserted into the central passageway (616) of a gas shroud (610), such that the distal end of the light collection tube (301) with the lens (302) is at least partially enclosed by the gas shroud (610). The distal end (612) of the gas shroud (610) includes a gas inlet port (618) fluidly coupled to a pressurized gas source and a gas outlet port (619) and is configured to discharge a stream of gas across an exposed surface of the lens (302) to at least minimize fogging of the lens (302).[French]
Un système d'analyse de traitement d'échantillon agricole comprend un appareil d'analyse comprenant au moins une pompe hybride, un dispositif de torche à plasma et un spectromètre. La pompe hybride comprend une membrane déformable couplée à une cavité de pompage formée dans le corps de pompe. Une pompe à seringue actionne le diaphragme et est intégrée directement dans le corps de pompe à l'intérieur d'un alésage de pompe interne. La pompe à seringue, lorsqu'elle est actionnée, déplace un fluide pilote qui déforme le diaphragme pour pomper un fluide de traitement tel qu'un fluide échantillon vers la torche à plasma où il est allumé pour former un plasma. Le spectromètre capture des données de spectres à partir du plasma et quantifie la concentration d'un analyte d'intérêt agricole dans le fluide échantillon, consistant par exemple en des nutriments végétaux. Des pompes hybrides supplémentaires utilisées pour traiter le fluide échantillon et étalonner le spectromètre peuvent être couplées physiquement et fluidiquement dans un réseau d'écoulement pour former collectivement un boîtier auto-supporté.
