Abstract
An integrated, portable sample analysis system and method. A viscometer subsystem receives a first portion of a sample. A spectrometer subsystem receives a second portion of the sample. A syringe pump subsystem receives a third portion of the sample and is configured to urge the third portion of the sample through a filter which collects particles in the sample thereon. An x-ray analysis subsystem is configured to x-ray the particles. The x-ray analysis subsystem also receives a fourth portion of the sample in order to determine the composition of any dissolved material in the sample. A processing subsystem provides a report concerning the sample and its viscosity, physical properties, particulate count and size distribution, and the composition of particulate and dissolved elements in the sample.
