Abstract

This is a method and apparatus for fluid sampling, particularly fluid sampling of like quantities of similar fluids, particularly in small quantities for testing and analysis. The apparatus and the method comprises the sampling and simultaneous sampling of a variety of dissimilar fluids in identical quantitative amounts. The method involves the extraction of samples of the various fluids to be analyzed and the dispensing of such fluid samples by activation of a single control lever wherein the lever can be used to extract in defined quantities by movement to a stop position or wherein the quantity may be selected at infinite quantity measurements.
