Title: Sensor arrangements and methods of determining a characteristic of a sample fluid using such sensor arrangements

Abstract: An arrangement and method for determining one or more characteristics of a sample fluid, and a method to determine the one or more characteristic of the sample fluid, are provided. In particular, a first assembly is contained within a particular housing, and a second assembly is positioned externally from the particular housing. The first assembly includes a first sensor which may be adapted to obtain first data associated with a first characteristic of the sample fluid, and a particular electrical assembly which is electrically coupled to the first sensor, and may be adapted to determine the first characteristic of the sample fluid as a function of the first data. The second assembly includes a second sensor which may be adapted to obtain second data associated with a second characteristic of the sample fluid. Moreover, the second sensor can be electrically coupled to the particular electrical assembly, and the particular electrical assembly is further adapted to determine the second characteristic of the sample fluid as a function of the second data.
