Analyseprobe

Analyseprobe is a term used in scientific and industrial contexts to refer to a component that undergoes analysis. In German-language literature, the word literally means "analysis probe" or "analysis sample" and can denote either a physical sample collected for testing or a probe instrument that samples a material or process for subsequent analysis.

In practice, an analyseprobe is selected to represent the material or system under study. If it is a sample, it is prepared, stored, and transported to an analytical instrument. If it is a sampling probe, it is integrated into a measurement system to withdraw material or information for immediate or offline analysis.

Preparation and handling: Standard procedures include homogenization, filtration, dilution, labeling, and maintaining traceability. Depending on the analysis, contamination control, temperature, and chemical compatibility are essential.

Techniques and applications: Analytical techniques used on analyseprobes include spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry, microscopy, and electrochemical methods. Fields of application span chemistry, materials science, environmental testing, biology, and medicine, where reliable sampling and stable analysis are critical.
