A voltage control circuitry for a detection cell is described, where the detection cell is adapted for determining an electrical property of a sample in a detection cell volume of the detection cell. The voltage control circuitry comprises a power supply adapted for providing a voltage to the detection cell, and a power evaluation unit adapted for determining an actual power dissipation in the detection cell volume. The voltage control circuitry further comprises a control unit adapted for comparing the actual power dissipation with a desired power dissipation, and for regulating the power supply's voltage in a way that the actual power dissipation is driven towards the desired power dissipation.

Detection cell with controlled power dissipation

Devices and methods for contactless heating of a fluid in a chamber using a high frequency alternating potential are described. At least two electrodes are coupled to the chamber such that the alternating potential is coupled to the fluid inside the chamber and heats the fluid. A control loop derives a signal from the alternating potential and uses the signal to control the alternating potential. The devices and methods described determine temperature and/or conductivity of the fluid using the signal.
