Abstract[English]
An agricultural sample processing-analysis system includes an analysis apparatus comprising at least one hybrid pump, a plasma torch device, and spectrometer. The hybrid pump includes a deformable diaphragm coupled to a pumping cavity formed in the pump body. A syringe pump operates the diaphragm and is integrated directly into the pump body within an internal pump bore. The syringe pump when actuated displaces pilot fluid which deforms the diaphragm to pump a process fluid such as a sample fluid to the plasma torch where it is ignited to form a plasma. The spectrometer captures spectra data from the plasma and quantifies the concentration of an analyte of agricultural interest in the sample fluid, such as plant nutrients. Additional hybrid pumps used to process the sample fluid and calibrate the spectrometer may be physically and fluidly coupled together in a flow network to collectively form a self-supported housing.[French]
Un système de traitement-analyse 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 trou de pompe interne. La pompe à seringue, lorsqu'elle est actionnée, déplace un fluide pilote qui déforme la membrane 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, tel que des nutriments végétaux. Des pompes hybrides supplémentaires utilisées pour traiter le fluide échantillon et étalonner le spectromètre peuvent être couplées physiquement et fluidiquement ensemble dans un réseau d'écoulement pour former collectivement un boîtier auto-supporté.
