PORTABLE OPTICAL ANALYZER OF HYDROCARBON SYSTEMS

Portable Analyzer for Impedance Spectroscopy

− The paper presents an impedance analyzer designed for impedance spectroscopy of objects located in the field. The use of the specialized microsystem AD5933 was assumed. The analysis and tests of the microsystem in the configuration proposed by the manufacturer showed the limitations having meaningful influence on the impedance measurement accuracy. In order to eliminate disadvantages of the m...

A Very Low-Cost Portable Multichannel Analyzer

A very low-cost portable Multichannel Analyzer (MCA) built with off-the-shelf commercial components is presented. Built around an universal microcontroller based platform for portable instruments, previously developed in our group, this intelligent portable MCA is operated by multicell Li-ion batteries and has power and memory autonomy for several hours of spectra collecting. The MCA integrates...

Optical Complex Spectrum Analyzer

Analytical performance of a portable critical care blood gas analyzer.

The portable blood gas analyzer OPTI Critical Care Analyzer was evaluated in comparison to routine laboratory assays using heparinized blood samples of adults and newborns. Within-run imprecision studies were performed with native blood using tonometry to adjust blood gas concentrations. The results obtained show a very close agreement between the OPTI system and the comparison methods for all ...

Reliability and Validity of the VmaxST Portable Metabolic Analyzer

Background: The reliability and validity of the SensorMedics VmaxST was tested. Methods: Thirty subjects (age = 24.5 ± 4.0 years, height = 174.8 ± 9.8 cm, weight = 70.3 ± 12.6 kg) performed treadmill exercise on three occasions, twice using the VmaxST and once using the SensorMedics 2900 system. Oxygen consumption (VO2; L/min) and heart rate (HR; beats/min) were measured continuously during thr...
