    摘要: A method of performing experiments on samples may include receiving criteria defining a starting state for performing an experiment in a system including a scientific instrument; determining whether the starting state is established in the system; and, responsive to the starting state being established, allowing the experiment, that analyzes a sample using the scientific instrument, to proceed. Determining whether the starting state is established may include automated monitoring of at least one parameter for at least one data channel, and determining whether all such parameters simultaneously meet associated conditions of the criteria for specified time periods. The method may include automatically monitoring the system and re-establishing the starting state prior to performing each of one or more subsequent experiments. The method may include automatically monitoring and establishing a second starting state prior to performing each of one or more additional experiments.

    摘要: A liquid-mixing device that minimizes solvent leakage and reduces creep of or damage to the component parts of said liquid-mixing device even at ultrahigh pressures of 100 MPa and up. Also, a liquid chromatography device using said liquid-mixing device. Said liquid chromatography device is provided with a supply pump that supplies a plurality of different solutions, a liquid-mixing device that mixes the supplied solutions, a sample injection device that injects a sample into the mixture of solutions, a column that separates the components of the injected sample, and a detector that detects the separated components. The liquid-mixing device has an inlet-side connector through which the plurality of different solutions flow in, a liquid-mixing section in which said solutions are mixed, and an outflow-side connector through which the mixed solutions flow out. The inlet-side connector and the liquid-mixing section are directly bonded to each other via diffusion bonding, as are the liquid-mixing section and the exit-side connector.

    摘要: Described is a method of generating a flow having a composition gradient such as a mobile phase gradient for liquid chromatography. A pair of pumps is operated such that the initiations of pump strokes for one pump are controlled to occur between the initiations of pump strokes for the other pump so that the sequences of pump strokes fort the two pumps are interspersed in time. Initiations of the pump strokes of the second pump are offset in time relative to initiations of the pump strokes of the first pump such that variations in the flow rates of the first and second pumps due to initiation do not overlap in time. The volume of liquid contributed by a pump stroke is controlled according to the relative contribution of the respective pump to the composition gradient.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for setting a gradient delay volume GDV of a liquid chromatography system for a chromatography run in liquid chromatography, in particular a high-performance liquid chromatography system, in which a desired value GDVtarget of a gradient delay volume of the liquid chromatography system is ascertained or predefined and, if the value GDVtarget deviates from a specific fixed value GDVactual of a liquid chromatography system, this value GDVtarget is set in a range 0≤ΔGDV=GDVtarget−GDVactual≤Vmax of a volume of a volume adjustment device 5. Furthermore, the invention relates to an automatic sampler for carrying out such a method.

    摘要: A system for blending solutions and a buffer solution is disclosed. In this system a switch valve is present capable of flowing one or more solutions, a low pressure pump for pumping the one or more solutions through the switch valve and a T-joint capable of receiving the one or more solutions through the low pressure pump and blending the one or more solutions with a buffer solution. A high pressure pump is present for collecting a blended solution.

    摘要: A method of preparing a liquid mixture for use in a liquid chromatography system is provided. The mixture comprises one or more acids, one or more bases, one or more solvents and water, and the method comprises the steps of: calculating pH and/or solvent concentration at a particular time t from a user-determined gradient function; and, based on the values obtained, calculating percent acid, percent base, percent solvent and percent water in the liquid mixture at time t. A liquid chromatography system incorporating such method is also provided.
