Tamper-resistant chemical sampling

A tamper-resistant apparatus for chemical sampling, the apparatus comprising:

• (1) a stainless steel canister configured to retain a chemical sample, the stainless steel canister comprising an outer surface and an inner surface:
• the outer surface comprising a surface treatment configured to provide one or more of:
• an increased friction between the outer surface and another surface, a mark-able surface configured to accept and retain a marking;
• and
• the inner surface being passivated to reduce a chemical reactivity between the stainless steel canister and the chemical sample;
• (2) a tamper-resistant mechanism, the tamper-resistant mechanism being operable to collect, retain, and protect the chemical sample from tampering, the tamper-resistant mechanism comprising:
• a slide lock, the slide lock operable to resist rotation of a twist mechanism;
• a twist mechanism the twist mechanism being operable to rotate from a closed position to an open position effective to allow the chemical sample to pass into an interior of the stainless steel canister through a calibrated orifice, wherein the calibrated orifice is on the twist mechanism;
• an electronic device operable to generate a first DTG data associated with a collection time of the chemical sample;
• a GPS device operable to:
• acquire a GPS satellite signal and generate a global coordinate data associated with a location of the chemical sample;
• assign and record a second DTG data associated with an acquisition time of the GPS satellite signal by the GPS;
• and
• record one or more attempt DTG data associated with a time for each attempt by the GPS device to acquire the GPS satellite signal;
• a memory operable to store one or more of:
• the first DTG data, the global coordinate data, the second DTG data, the attempt DTG data, chemical data associated with a chemical sample detected by a chemical detector on a chip, temperature data, and a fault code;
• an RFID device operable to wirelessly transfer one or more data stored on the memory to a data receiving device external to the container;
• and
• (3) an extractor operatively connected to the calibrated orifice and operable to extract one or more analytes from the chemical sample, the extractor comprising gone or more of:
• a SPME fiber, a glass tube, a chemical detector on chip, a polymer, and a sorbent.
