摘要:
Methods for focusing analyte peaks in liquid chromatography using a spatial temperature gradient are provided. Also provided are methods for focusing analyte peaks and improving resolution using a trap column upstream of a separation column. Further, methods are provided in which the trap column placed upstream of the separation column is packed with a temperature-sensitive polymer/copolymer, and a spatial temperature gradient is applied along the trap column for obtaining improved retentivity by trap column stationary phase, and overall improved resolution of analyte peaks.
摘要:
A method is provided for thermally focusing an analyte on a pre-column for liquid chromatography, comprising the steps of enriching the sample on said pre-column at a temperature lower than the operating temperature of a separation column, injecting the sample onto the separation column by heating the pre-column to a temperature higher than the temperature of the separation column and eluting the analyte from the separation column. Optionally, the sample may be subjected to a temperature gradient on the separation column or the separation column may be heated to remove non-eluted sample after the separation is completed.
摘要:
A micro fluid analyzer (500, 600, 610, 620) having a concentrator (523, 623) and two separators (524, 525, 624, 625, 651, 654). The analyzer may have one or two pumps(521, 522, 640, 621, 622). The analyzer (500) may have a hyper pre-concentrator (526) having a number of channels (527). There are numerous detectors (531, 532, 533, 534, 631, 632, 633, 634) positioned along the flow path of the analyzer. Also, one or more orifices (541, 542, 644, 645, 647, 648, 653, 656) and micro valves (641, 541, 661) may be positioned in the flow path. The concentrator (523, 623) may have an array of heater elements (20, 22, 24, 26) that provide a heat pulse that moves along the fluid path to provide an increasing concentration of heat in a fluid. The analyzer may be configured as a multiple fluid or gas chromatograph.
摘要:
A gas chromatograph system (10) including a cold trap (12) having two portions (12a and 12b), a capillary tube (14) and a porous layer open tubular (PLOT) column (15), for substantially simultaneously trapping lower and higher boiling point gasses. The capillary tube (14) enables cold trapping of lower boiling point gasses while the PLOT column (15) enables cold trapping of higher boiling point gasses. The capillary tube interconnects at one end to an analytical column (20) and a sample gas source (26) and interconnects at its other end to a first end of the PLOT column (15). The other end of the PLOT column interconnects to a carrier gas source and a vacuum source. The capillary tube and PLOT column are both positioned within a temperature controlled environment of the cold trap. During the collection mode, the temperature control means maintains a relatively low temperature to condense the sample components. During injection of the sample from the cold trap to the analytical column, the temperature control means maintains a relatively high temperature to vaporize the sample components.

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.
