Claim 17:
18. A sample analysis system, comprising:
a control system;
a sample handling system communicatively coupled to the control system, wherein the sample handling system comprises:
an input line coupled to a source;
a pump assembly coupled to the input line, wherein the pump assembly draws an extracted fluid from a source through the input line;
a high pressure line coupled to the pump assembly, wherein the pump assembly increases the pressure of the extracted fluid through the high pressure line to a pressure higher than a vacuum;
a membrane separator coupled in-line with the high pressure line, wherein the membrane separator separates from the extracted fluid having an increased pressure at least one of one or more particulates and one or more liquids to form a gas component, and wherein the liquids and particulates component is formed by the separated at least one of the one or more particulates and the one or more liquids;
a filter coupled to the membrane separator, wherein the filter receives an excess portion of the liquids and particulates component; and
an output port coupled to the filter, wherein the filter discharges the excess portion to the output port.
