1. The method of housing a sample conditioning system, comprising the steps of:

  • a. providing a substrate coupling having a passage formed therethrough to receive a fluid extraction device, said substrate coupling having a first and second ends;

    b. mounting said first end of said substrate coupling so that said passage of said substrate coupling leads a conduit containing a pressurized fluid;

    c. mounting a substrate bracket to said second end of said substrate coupling, said substrate bracket having a module mounting area;

    d. mounting one or more modular components along said module mounting area of said substrate bracket;

    e. providing between one or more of said mounted modular components fluid communication pursuant to a desired flow path, providing mounted modular components;

    f. providing first and second enclosure components configured to engage one another to provide a housing, said housing having one or more module component access apertures, and a mounting aperture formed to engage said substrate coupling;

    g. mounting and securing said housing, comprising the steps of positioning said first and second enclosure components about said substrate coupling and substrate bracket, and assembling said first and second enclosure components so as to form said housing, so that said mounting aperture of said housing is situated around said sidewall of said substrate coupling, and said substrate coupling mounting area is enclosed by said housing;

    whileh. aligning one or more of said module component access apertures formed in said housing with one or more of said mounted modular components so as to provide exterior access or visibility to said one or more of said mounted modular components, from outside of said housing.
