Abstract
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing a reactor having a heater, a passage for transporting a reactant, and a chamber containing a gas sample and being coupled to the passage for receiving the reactant and mixing the reactant with the gas sample. The reactor further includes a connector leading from the chamber to the heater for transporting a mixture of the reactant and gas sample, and wherein the heater heats the mixture of the reactant and gas sample.
Claims6
A method for providing a reactor, comprising the steps of:
- providing a first passage containing a first reactant;
- connecting a heater to the first passage using a connector, where the connector contains a sample;
- transporting a mixture of the first reactant from the first passage and the sample from the connector to the heater;
- placing the connector within a second passage containing a second reactant;
- transporting the second reactant to the mixture of the first reactant and sample;
- and
- heating the mixture of the first reactant and sample and, subsequently, heating the mixture of the first reactant, second reactant, and sample.
