  • Publication number: 20230182130
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a system comprising microfluidic devices of extraction, capacitance analysis, together with the smartphone-controlled potentiostat, consisting of a portable system that can be applied on offshore platforms and offering an analytical procedure that requires low levels of samples and chemical ingredients. In addition, the assembly provides the in loco, fast analysis of species having fouling features with high analytical frequency. The ability to carry out these analyzes in low BSW oils represents a strong analytical improvement view of the technical difficulties observed in traditional methods that use liquid-liquid extraction.
