1. A sensor module comprising:
- a flexible linkage extending from a first end to a second end;
an analysis cell housing coupled to the first end of the flexible linkage, the analysis cell housing defining an analysis cell and a passageway providing access to the analysis cell from a sample port of the analysis cell housing, the passageway extending along a first axis;
a member anchor coupled to the second end of the flexible linkage, wherein the member anchor is configured to move relative to the analysis cell housing along the axis defined by the passageway;
a piercing member securely coupled to the member anchor, the piercing member being configured to slide from a retracted position to an extended position when the member anchor is moved relative to the analysis cell housing; and
an electrode arrangement arranged within the analysis cell housing, the electrode arrangement being arranged in fluid communication with the analysis cell housing.

Abstract
A sensor module includes a flexible linkage; an analysis cell housing; a member anchor; a piercing member; and an electrode arrangement. The analysis cell housing defines an analysis cell and a passageway providing access to the analysis cell from a sample port of the analysis cell housing. The member anchor is configured to move relative to the analysis cell housing along the axis defined by the passageway. The piercing member is configured to slide from a retracted position to an extended position when the member anchor is moved relative to the analysis cell housing. The electrode arrangement is arranged in fluid communication with the analysis cell housing.

11. A sensor module comprising:
-
an analysis cell housing defining an analysis cell and a passageway providing access to the analysis cell from a sample port of the analysis cell housing; a member anchor configured to move relative to the analysis cell housing along an axis that passes through the sample port; a piercing member securely coupled to the member anchor, the piercing member being configured to slide along the axis within at least a portion of the analysis cell housing from a retracted position to an extended position when the member anchor is moved relative to the analysis cell housing; and an electrode arrangement arranged at least partially within the analysis cell housing, the electrode arrangement being arranged in fluid communication with the analysis cell housing. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
