Facilitate Reduced Sensor or Analyzer Development Costs 

Furthermore, the reduced size and internal volumes of the modular surface-mount sampling/sensor systems is a good scale match with many of the MEMS and microfabricated miniature analytical systems being developed in research laboratories around the world. Despite the immense efforts to develop the sensing capability of the micro-analytical devices, little attention has been focused on how the sample is going to presented to the very small devices in a reproducible way without clogging the very small flow channels of these devices.
