This disclosure is directed to a device and a system for picking a target analyte of a suspension. A picker introduces at least one force, such as by a magnetic gradient and/or by a pressure gradient, to extract the target analyte from a sample.

This disclose includes methods and systems for sampling and/or analyzing fluid, such as production fluid from an oil and gas well. Some methods include receiving, into a container coupled to a production fluid conduit, production fluid from the production fluid conduit, the received production fluid having a first pressure that is substantially equal to a pressure of production fluid within the production fluid conduit, and capturing, with one or more sensors, data indicative of one or more properties of a portion of the received production fluid, wherein the portion of the received production fluid, during the capturing, has a pressure that is substantially equal to the first pressure.

A conveying device for conveying a viscous material from a container includes a follower plate that can be inserted into the container, and a pump by means of which the viscous material can be conveyed through the follower plate. Moreover, a measuring chamber for accommodation of a measuring sample of the viscous material is provided. The measuring chamber includes a closable material inlet opening for this purpose. A closable disposal line leads away from the measuring chamber. Moreover, a closable material return line extends from the measuring chamber via the follower plate into the container. The conveying device also includes a controller that is designed and can be operated appropriately such that it determines the compressibility of each of multiple measuring samples. The controller opens the disposal line or the material return line to the measuring sample present in the measuring chamber as a function of the compressibility thus determined.

Interaction of adsorbing chemicals with a downhole tool presents inaccuracies in the adsorbing chemical measurement and analysis. The principles of the present disclosure provide a method and system of sampling fluids including an adsorbing chemical in a subterranean reservoir. One method may include modeling an interaction between the adsorbing chemical and a downhole tool, applying the model to a measurement of the adsorbing chemical, and adjusting the measurement in response to applying the model.

The present invention relates to a corrugated constant pressure cylinder apparatus having no micro leaks and its method of use, and more specifically, a corrugated constant pressure cylinder apparatus having no micro leaks and its method of use where the internal pressure of the cylinder is maintained at a constant pressure so as to allow for transport or storage in a state without micro leaks. Therefore, this invention relates to a corrugated constant pressure cylinder apparatus having no micro leaks and its method of use where mixed refrigerant gases, volatile organic compounds (VOC), hydrocarbon mixtures, and other such substances that exist in gaseous or liquid form at room temperature are kept in a cylinder that maintains a constant internal pressure to keep the contents in liquid form, or is able to keep the pressure constant even if the internal volume changes due to the contents inside the cylinder.

In order to fulfill the aforementioned purpose, the corrugated constant pressure cylinder apparatus having no micro leaks of the present invention is characterized by being comprised of a fixed plate (100) comprised of a circular steel plate with a fixed thickness that has a sample inlet (101) in the middle that goes through the plate, and is coupled with the bottom portion of a cylinder (200) to form chamber (a) and; a cylinder (200) comprised of a steel tube open at the bottom section and closed at the upper section with the flared bottom section comprised of a flange (210) that has a plurality of fastening holes (211) going through it and is coupled with the aforementioned fixed plate (100) to form chamber (a) and; fastening bolts (300) and fastening nuts (300) that fasten together with bolts the aforementioned fixed plate's (100) inner side with the outer side of the flange (210) on the bottom section of the aforementioned cylinder (200) to form chamber (a) and; a pressure gauge (400) coupled to the coupling pipe (226) of the pressure gauge coupling hole (224) that checks the pressure within chamber (a) in order to control the amount of inert gas that is injected and; opening/closing valves (500) connected to the sample inlet (101) and the inert gas inlet (223) and; a sample chamber (b) inside the aforementioned chamber (a) that stores the collected sample and creates and maintains constant pressure.

In addition, the method of use for the corrugated constant pressure cylinder having no micro leaks of the present invention is characterized by collecting a fixed amount of the sample in sample chamber (b) then closing

A sample container, sampling system and operating methods permit representative sampling from a liquid phase or boiling liquid, a gaseous phase, a containment sump, containment atmosphere, or condensation chamber of a nuclear power plant following a severe accident. A sample container obtaining an environmental sample includes an outer chamber surrounded by an outer container wall, being directly fluidically connected to the environment through a passage opening in the outer container wall and being fillable with a liquid at least in a base region. An inner chamber surrounded by an inner container wall is fluidically connected to the base region through a passage opening in the inner container wall, has connections for sampling and conveyor medium lines and is otherwise pressure and media tightly sealed from the environment. A pneumatically or hydraulically actuatable closure device for the passage opening between the outer and inner chambers has an actuation medium line connection.

This disclosure is directed to a system and method for detecting a surface of a substrate within a scanner.

This disclosure is directed to a device and a system for picking a target analyte of a suspension. A picker introduces at least one force, such as by a magnetic gradient and/or by a pressure gradient, to extract the target analyte from a specimen. The magnetic gradient may be introduced by a magnet, such as a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and the pressure gradient may be introduced by a pump which moves within a fluid-primed cannula to create the pressure gradient, thereby drawing the target analyte into the cannula. The picker may also expel the target analyte onto or into a substrate, such as a well plate, after the target analyte has been drawn into the picker by reversing the pressure gradient or removing the magnetic gradient.
