Unmanned platform for long-range remote analysis of volatile compounds in air samples.

摘要: This paper describes a long-range remotely controlled CE system built on an all-terrain vehicle. A four-stroke engine and set of 12-V batteries were used to provide power series subsystems that include drivers, communication, computers, capillary electrophoresis module. dedicated instrument allows air sampling using polypropylene porous tube, coupled flow transports the sample inlet fused-silica capillary. hybrid approach was for construction analytical subsystem combining conventional (used separation) laser machined microfluidic block, made PMMA. solid-state cooling also integrated in module enable controlling temperature therefore increasing useful range robot. Although ultimately intended detection chemical warfare agents, proposed analyze volatile organic acids. As such, allowed separation formic, acetic, propionic acids with signal-to-noise ratios 414, 150, 115, respectively, after by only 30 s performing electrokinetic injection during 2.0 at 1.0 kV.
