Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
One embodiment of the invention includes an automated system for collecting analyte. The system comprises a screen supply cartridge for holding a stack of clean tabs including sorbent coated screens (SCS) residing in SCS channels. The stack of tabs are arranged such that SCS tabs directly above and/or below a given SCS tab include SCS channels offset from the SCS channel of the given tab to isolate the SCS channels from one another and the environment. The system includes an air source that provides an analyte to be adsorbed by an SCS channel of a respective tab at a sampling region and a linear actuator that moves a given clean tab into the sampling region for exposing the SCS channel of the given clean tab to the analyte and providing a given exposed tab.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An automated system for collecting analytes, the system comprising: a screen supply cartridge for holding a stack of clean tabs including sorbent coated screens (SCS) residing in SCS channels, with SCS channels offset from the SCS channels of adjacent tabs to isolate the SCS channels from one another and the environment; an air source that provides an analyte to be adsorbed by an SCS channel of a respective tab at a sampling region; and a linear actuator…
