Abstract
This invention provides methods and devices for detecting the viscosity and conductivity of a conductive fluid sample. A sample fluid can be received into a sample chamber between a field inductor and sensor inductor. Electromagnetic fields generated by the field inductor can be modulated due to the counter-emf induced in the sample. The modulations can be detected by the sensor inductor and correlated to electric parameters in the fluid.
