Abstract:
1. A sample treatment apparatus, which comprises: a path for introducing a fluid for an aspirator, at least two sample flow paths A connected in one side to the path for introducing a fluid for the aspirator and connected in the other side to a sample collecting part, a sample flow path B connected in one side to one sample flow path A passing a fluid for the aspirator and connected in the other side to the other sample flow path A, a cooling part for cooling a part of the sample flow paths A, and a controller for selecting and switching the sample flow paths A into which a fluid for the aspirator is introduced, wherein a fluid for the aspirator is introduced into at least one sample flow path A thereby cleaning one of the sample flow paths A and simultaneously suctioning the sample from at least one sample collecting part connected to the other sample flow path A, cooling the sample in the other sample flow path A, condensing and removing a specific component in the sample, and introducing the sample into the sample flow path B, and simultaneously selecting and switching, in a predetermined cycle, the sample flow path A into which a fluid for the aspirator is introduced.
