Abstract
An integrated portable sample analysis system includes a portable case including an interior panel and a spectrometer subsystem. The spectrometer subsystem includes a flip top spectrometer sample cell including first and second members each including a window aligned with each other when the first and second members are coupled together defining a predefined spacing between the windows when the first and second members are coupled together, the first and second members decoupled for manually placing a fluid sample on a the window. An analyzer behind the interior panel receives the flip top spectrometer sample cell therein when the first and second members are coupled together for analyzing the fluid sample located between the windows by directing radiation through the windows and the fluid sample. The flip top spectrometer sample cell is configured to be withdrawn out of the analyzer for cleaning of the windows. The integrated portable sample analysis system also includes a viscometer subsystem including a flip top sample viscometer cell. The flip top sample viscometer cell includes a first plate including a rail configured to constrain a fluid sample manually presented thereto bet…
