Abstract
A system and method for transformation of at least one harmful analyte that is difficult to detect to a substance or substances that are more readily detectable by a detector unit and includes parts and steps for detection and quantification of a target analyte or a plurality of analytes. The system includes a transformer having a reagent that transforms the at least one harmful analyte to a specific substance that is capable of being detected by an available sensing device. The system includes an end of service life indicator. Information relating to the transformer may be included on a housing.
Claims20
A system for the detection and quantification of target analyte comprising;
- a transformer having and fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and capable of transforming a target analyte that is hard to detect to a second substance where the second substance is capable of being detected by an existing sensing device, said first transformer comprising an end of service life indicator to indicate an end of service life of the first transformer;
- a sensing device connected to the fluid outlet of the transformer, said sensing device detects and quantifies the second substance to provide an accurate measure of the amount of target analyte taken from a sample;
- and,
- a pump connected to one of the transformer or sensing device to draw the target analyte through the transformer and the second substance through the sensing device.
A system for the detection and quantification of target analyte comprising;
- a transformer having and fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and capable of transforming a target analyte that is hard to detect to a second substance where the second substance is capable of being detected by an existing sensing device, said first transformer comprising an end of service life indicator to indicate an end of service life of the first transformer, wherein the transformer localizes and traps undesired satellites of target analyte from passing through and being detected by a sensing device;
- a sensing device connected to the fluid outlet of the transformer, said sensing device detects and quantifies the second substance to provide an accurate measure of the amount of target analyte taken from a sample;
- and,
- a pump connected to one of the transformer or sensing device to draw the target analyte through the transformer and the second substance through the sensing device.
