  • Internal heater for preconcentrator
    Patent number: 6656738
    Abstract: An apparatus for collecting and detecting chemicals contained in a fluid includes a sorbent element, at least one chemical sensor, a first pump for pumping fluid through the sorbent element and a second pump for pumping fluid to the chemical sensor. The sorbent element contains a sorbent material and a heating element. The first pump pumps fluid into the sorbent element thereby collecting the chemicals on the sorbent material. The heating element provides heat to the sorbent element to desorb the chemicals from the sorbent material. The chemicals desorbed from the sorbent material are then pumped out of the sorbent element and to the chemical sensor. The sorbent material may have a cavity therein with the heating element located in that cavity. Alternatively, the heating element may be interposed between the enclosure and the sorbent material.
