Apparatus and Method for Obtaining Formation Fluid Samples

A method of obtaining a sample from a formation, comprising:

• conveying a tool into a wellbore that includes a first fluid line for receiving fluid extracted from a formation and a sample chamber coupled to the first fluid line via a second fluid line that receives the fluid from the first fluid line when the fluid from the formation is extracted into the first fluid line;
• extracting the fluid from the formation into the first fluid line and the second fluid line;
• supplying the fluid from the second fluid line into a fluid removal device;
• and
• supplying the fluid from the second fluid line into the sample chamber after supplying the at least a portion of the fluid from the second fluid line into the fluid removal device.
