摘要:
A beam of light falling within the range of 180 to 3,000 nanometers is transmitted through a flow cell in an optical compartment of an absorbance detector after warm up of the equipment while the eluant flows through the flow cell from a chromatographic column. The column extends upwardly from the absorbance detector into an air chamber having a volume of approximately 0.25 cubic foot formed with acrylic walls. Air flows from the absorbance detector under the power of a fan at approximately 10 cubic feet per minute upwardly through an air duct having a cross section of approximately 1.5 square inches to the top where it connects with the air chamber, the speed of the motor being adjustable until temperature varies less than one degree Celsius between the flow cell and the lower 10 centimeters of the column. Under these conditions Schlieren noise from the flow cell due to flow-induced thermo-optical effects is reduced.

To prolong the life of a deuterium gas discharge lamp and reduce photometric noise, a DC potential is applied between the cathode and the anode of the lamp to support the arc current through the tube and a separate AC potential is connected across the cathode through an AC amplitude control circuit that controls the amplitude of the AC current. While the cathode is at room temperature, a potential proportional to the AC current through the cathode is balanced against a potential proportional to the AC potential drop across the cathode in an operational amplifier circuit and the output used to operate an indicating device. During operation of the lamp, the output of the operational amplifier circuit is used to control power applied to the cathode through the AC amplitude control circuit. At this time, the proportionality factor for the AC potential drop is divided by a factor to cause an increase in the AC current through the cathode and rebalance the operational amplifier circuit under lamp operating conditions at point where the cathode energy is just above an anomaly in the cathode-power cathode-temperature curve.

To reduce errors in a single-stroke, syringe-type high pressure pump caused by changes in temperature, the temperature of the pump is maintained slightly above ambient by a thermostat-heater system. The volume of liquid within the pump is measured by measuring the speed of the motor from a predetermined starting point and changes in ambient temperature are measured and multiplied by the volume to arrive at a volume error figure. Correction factors are multiplied to take into consideration the different coefficients of thermal expansion of the fluid and the cylinder of the pump. The resulting signal controls the motor speed to maintain a constant flow in spite of temperature changes.

A ground fault detector for use in combination with a floating secondary circuit of a direct current high voltage power supply comprising a detector circuit for sensing a relatively low electrical impedance. The existence of a low impedance represents a ground fault current between a part of the secondary circuit of the high voltage power supply and chassis ground to generate an alternating voltage. A rectifying circuit is operatively connected to the detector circuit for rectifying the alternating voltage. A warning indication network is responsive to the rectified alternating voltage for visually indicating the presence of the ground fault current.

Permeable polymeric monolithic materials are prepared in a column casing. In one embodiment, the permeable polymeric monolithic materials are polymerized while pressure is applied through a piston having a smooth piston head in contact with the polymerization mixture. The pressure eliminates wall effect and changes the structure in the column. Similarly, some columns that have a tendency to swell in the presence of aqueous solutions and pressurized while the solution is applied to prevent swelling and wall effect. This procedure also changes the structure in the column. The size of the separation effective openings can be controlled by the amount of the pressure and pores eliminated. Uniformity in the direction flow is improved by controlling polymerization with radiation rather than with conducted heat.

摘要:
To form a smooth gradient and a preparatory liquid chromatographic system having a plurality of syringe type pumps, solvents are alternately drawn and inserted into each cylinder. The solvents are alternately drawn into and through a long narrow path formed of tubing to create axial mixing and spreading out of the interface and then are drawn into the cylinders during the refill stroke of the piston at a sufficiently high velocity to create turbulence. The drawing of the solvents into one side of the cylinder a radial distance from the center creates circular eddy currents.

摘要:
To economically perform preparatory chromatography, a plurality of pumps each having a corresponding one of a plurality of pistons and a corresponding one of a plurality of cylinders are driven by one motor to draw and pump solvent simultaneously into corresponding columns. To form a gradient, the pumps are connected to two-way valves that are connected alternately to a first solvent and a second solvent, whereby the time said valve is in a first position controls the amount of solvent drawn from the first reservoir into said pumps and the amount of time in said second position controls the amount of said second solvent drawn from the second reservoir into said pumps and the solvent is mixed in the pumping systems. The detectors are photodiodes mounted to light guides in the flow cells that generate signals related to light absorbance and communicate with a controller, whereby the controller receives signals indicating solute between the light guides and causes collection of solute. An over-pressure system compensates for pressure over a predetermined level.
