Magnetic sensor and method for analysing a fluid
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for analysing a fluid, comprising:
- means for generating a non-uniform magnetic field in a space, the field varying with linear distance in the space; and
means for measuring a magnetic field strength over a linear distance to enable a change in the magnetic field strength to be measured when a sample of fluid to be analysed is introduced into the space.

17. A method for analysing fluid comprising the steps of:
-
applying a non-uniform magnetic field that varies with linear distance in space to a sample of fluid to be analysed; and
measuring a magnetic field strength over a linear distance to determine a change in the magnetic field strength caused by the sample of fluid. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
