Temperature controlled magnetic permeability detector

A device for detection of magnetic permeability (μ) or, alternatively, relative magnetic permeability (μr) or, alternatively relative magnetic susceptibility (μr-1) of a sample, said device comprising a sample chamber having at least one opening for introduction of a sample or a sample container holding a sample, said device also comprising a coil surrounding said sample chamber, and also comprising an electronic circuit adapted to measure the inductance of said coil, wherein said sample chamber, said coil, at least one heat sensor and at least one component in said electronic circuit are placed in a temperature controlled zone, wherein said at least one component in said electronic circuit is/are selected from the group consisting of capacitors, sensors, precision voltage references, precision regulators, low pass and or high pass filters and wherein said coil in the tempersature controlled zone is heated by a heat resistor.
