An apparatus (21) for automated extraction of an analyte from a sample positioned in a sample containment cell (22) having a fluid passageway structure for communication of an extraction fluid to and from the cavity of the cell (22). The apparatus includes a loading tray, an oven assembly (24) mounted proximate the loading tray, a fluid communication assembly mounted proximate the tray, a cell manipulation assembly and a controller. The cell manipulation assembly brings an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit of the fluid communication assembly into sealed relationship with the sample containment cell (22) and uses the conduits to pick up and move the cell (22) to and from the cell tray (23) and oven assembly (24). The fluid communication assembly further causes flow of an extraction fluid into the cell (22) and pressurizes the cell (22) for extraction of an analyte from the sample.

Appareil (21) conçu pour l'extraction automatisée d'un analyte d'un échantillon placé dans une cellule de confinement (22) présentant une structure de passage de fluide qui assure la communication du fluide d'extraction avec la cavité de la cellule (22) lorsque celui-ci entre et sort de celle-ci. L'appareil comprend un plateau de chargement, un ensemble four (24) monté à proximité du plateau de chargement, un ensemble de manipulation de cellule et un contrôleur. L'ensemble manipulation de cellule place le conduit d'admission et le conduit d'évacuation de l'ensemble communication du fluide dans une relation d'étanchéité avec la cellule de confinement (22) et met en oeuvre les conduits pour prendre et déplacer la cellule (22) vers et à partir du plateau (23) et de l'ensemble four (24). L'ensemble de communication du fluide provoque également l'écoulement d'un fluide d'extraction dans la cellule (22) et met la cellule (22) sous pression en vue d'extraire un analyte de l'échantillon.
