摘要:
The invention relates to a method, to a device, and to the use of a method for the gas-chromatic separation and determination of volatile substances in a carrier gas by means of a chromatographic separating capillary (1), wherein the separating capillary and/or an enveloping capillary (2) surrounding the separating capillary (1) is electrically conductive and is heated with current in the form of a resistance heater and is cooled by a forced convective flow by means of a fluid in the form of a gradient flow field in such a way that a continuous temperature gradient arises over the length of the separating capillary.

This invention relates to a modulator for use in gas chromatographic analysis, adapted for alternatively trapping and releasing fractions of solutes in a length of a capillary column within a chromatographic oven, characterized in that it comprises at least one nozzle placed to spray at least one jet in at least one corresponding place along said capillary column length, said nozzle (s) being connected each to a source of liquid CO2 via a related valve, and means for alternatively opening said valve (s) for a predetermined time, to cause a jet of liquid CO2 to impinge for said predetermined time on said column place and to leave the oven atmosphere to heat said column place after said predetermined time. The modulator can be used in a conventional GC system or in a two dimensional GC system, for modulating the analytes fed to the second capillary column.

摘要:
A modular cooling device for gas chromatography analyte sample injectors is embodied in a series of tubes connecting a coolant supply valve to the injector heating block. A flexible supply tube carrying coolant maintains structural integrity up to about 150 °C, has a low thermal conductivity and is connecting a coolant supply, and a transition tube. A transition tube, between the supply tube and the cooling tube, maintains structural integrity up to 450 °C and has a low thermal conductivity. The cooling tube, between the transition tube and an exhaust, has an outer surface that is physically engageable with a heating block surface. It maintains structural integrity up to 450 °C and has a high thermal conductivity (at least about 200 watts/meter °C) to facilitate heat transfer. It further has a flattened surface for greater contact area with the heating block to provide greater cooling effect.

A gas chromatography system in which prefocusing of a sample analyte is provided through the use of an adsorbent coated porous layer open tubular trap tube. Through the use of an adsorbent coated collection device low boiling point components can be successfully trapped for preconcentration and injection at temperatures well above that necessary when employing conventional cryo-focusing.
摘要:
Several embodiments of gas chromatography systems are disclosed incorporating mechanical sample injection valves. The injection valves incorporate a delivery tube (126) having an outlet which is swept past the inlet of separation columns (128,130,132) to provide a short duration inlet plug into the separation columns. Carrier gas and sample gas flow is managed through valves to prevent inadvertent injection after an injection is desired and to assure that the sample is not contaminated by past sample flow. Embodiments of injections valve are described for providing inputs into several gas chromatography columns. In addition, a gas chromatography system is described in which multiple columns are used which are time multiplexed with a single detector to produce a complex combined chromatogram from the plural columns. By appropriate selection of column characteristics and injection sequence, the resulting chromatogram can provide an overlay of chromatograms which provide good resolution of all the constituents of the mixture of interest within a short analysis time.
摘要:
Gas chromatographic methods and apparatus are disclosed whereby improved separation times and efficiency are achieved by provision of a rapid transfer of heat or cooling from a heating or cooling source to a chromatographic column. The column (2) is provided within an insulating sheath. A resistance heating element (12) disposed in the sheath and optional heated or cooling gas flow through the sheath is capable of rapidly changing the temperature imparted to the column thereby.
摘要:
Gas chromatographic methods and apparatus are disclosed whereby improved separation times and efficiency are achieved by provision of a time-programmable curvilinearly-shaped negative temperature gradient along the length of the chromatographic column (2). The gas phase sample traveling through the column (2) always passes to a column zone having a lower temperature than the previous column zone. Accordingly, upon elution, sample band-widths are compressed. Separation times may be decreased when compared to conventional isothermal or temperature programmed gas chromatography.
摘要:
Ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines regelbaren reproduzierbaren Temperaturgradienten in einer vorgegebenen Richtung von wärmeleitenden Platten (1) für die Auftrennung von Stoffgemischen in flächigen Trennmedien erfolgt dadurch, daß eine Kante (2) einer Platte mittels einer oder mehrerer regelbarer Heizvorrichtungen (4) erwärmt und die gegenüberliegende Kante (3) der Platte mittels einer oder mehrerer regelbarer Kühlvorrichtungen (5) gekühlt wird, wobei der Energiefluß der Heizvorrichtung(en) (4) einerseits und der Kühlvorrichtung(en) (5) andererseites größer ist als der Energiefluß durch die Platte (1). Dieses Verfahren und diese Vorrichtung sind geeignet zur Auftrennung von Stoffgemischen, in denen mindestens eine Komponente im Temperaturbereich des Temperaturgradienten eine thermische Umwandlung erfährt. Sie ist daher geeignet zum Nachweis und zur Unterscheidung von Viroiden, Satelliten-RNAs, Viren mit doppelsträngiger oder zirkulärer Nukleinsäure sowie zur Analyse von Protein-Nukleinsäure-Komplexen und der Analyse von Mutationen.
