Abstract

A tube magazine for a sampling system has a plurality of sampler tube receiving spaces for receiving sampler tubes. The sampler tubes can be separated from the system as a unit, and transported to another location for analysis. A first part of the system includes a plurality of introducing devices disposed for introducing gaseous fluid into corresponding ones of the sampler tubes; and a second part which forms with the sampler tubes a replaceable magazine which is readily removable from the first part, whereby the corresponding introducing devices and receiving spaces are simultaneously brought into fluid communication when the first and second parts are connected together. Advantageously, each of the sampler tube receiving spaces has a central, elongated axis, the axes of the sampler tube receiving spaces being parallel to each other; a trap tube receiving space for receiving a trap tube, the trap tube receiving space being surrounded by the sampler tube receiving spaces, the trap tube receiving space having an elongated, central axis which is parallel to the axes of the sampler tube receiving spaces; and a common end space for providing fluid communication between the trap tube receiving space and each of the sampler tube receiving spaces. A selector valve system can be provided for selectively introducing fluid into the sampler tube receiving spaces.
