Abstract
An apparatus for obtaining a fluid from a formation. The apparatus includes a fluid extraction device that extracts the fluid from the formation into a first fluid line, and a sample chamber that is coupled to the first fluid line via a second fluid line to receive the fluid from the first fluid line. The first fluid line and the second fluid line receive contaminated formation fluid when the fluid extraction device initially extracts the fluid from the formation. A fluid removal device associated with the second fluid line receives at least a portion of the contaminated formation fluid from the second fluid line.
