1. A reactor, comprising:
- a heater;
a first passage for transporting a first reactant;
a second passage for transporting a second reactant;
a connector leading from said first passage to said heater for transporting a mixture of the first reactant and gas sample contained within said connector;
said second passage coupled to said connector for transporting the second reactant to the mixture of the first reactant and gas sample;
said connector is placed within said second passage; and
wherein said heater heats the mixture of the first reactant and as sample and, subsequently, the mixture of the first reactant, second reactant, and gas sample.

6. A reactor, comprising:
-
a heater having a proximal end and a distal end;
a first passage for transporting a first reactant;
a second passage for transporting a second reactant;
a connector containing a gas sample and being coupled to said first passage at said proximal end for receiving the first reactant and mixing the first reactant with the gas sample;
said connector extending from said proximal end through said eater to said distal end, and coupling to said second passage for receiving the second reactant and mixing the first reactant and gas sample with the second reactant; and
said second passage passing from said distal end through said heater to said proximal end, whereby the second reactant, first reactant, and gas sample are heated by said heater. - View Dependent Claims (7)
