    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to flame based detection methods for compressed mobile phase chromatography. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the operation of a flame ionization detector for carbon dioxide based chromatography, such as supercritical fluid chromatography. The present disclosure includes a method of matching a chromatographic column with a flame ionization detector inner burner including providing a chromatographic column with an internal diameter, determining an optimal mobile phase flow rate for the chromatographic column, calculating an optimal inner diameter of the inner burner that combined with the internal diameter and flow rate of the column produces optimal detector performance, and providing a flame ionization detector inner burner having an inner diameter substantially equal to the calculated optimal inner diameter.

    Abstract: Thermally modulated variable restrictors used in chromatography systems enable independent control of system pressure and linear velocity of a compressible mobile phase passing through a chromatographic column. The restrictors include a restrictor body having a fluidic channel with an inlet that receives the mobile phase from the column and an outlet through which the mobile phase leaves the fluidic channel. A restrictor tip, disposed adjacent the outlet of the fluidic channel, has an egress opening that is smaller than an internal diameter of the fluidic channel. A heating element, thermally coupled to a subsection of the fluidic channel between its inlet and outlet, heats the mobile phase passing through that subsection of the fluidic channel. The restriction produced by the restrictor tip in response to the heating of the mobile phase enables independent control of system pressure and linear velocity of the mobile phase within the column.

    Abstract: The invention provides interfaces between analytical instruments, e.g., between chromatography systems and mass spectrometers. In an exemplary embodiment, an ion source is provided for connecting a carbon dioxide-based chromatograph device to a mass spectrometer. The ion source includes a first conduit for receiving eluent from the chromatography device, a heater for heating at least a portion of said first conduit, a second conduit in fluid communication with the first conduit, an inlet for receiving eluent from said second conduit and introducing the eluent into an ion source region to form a plume of gas and/or liquid in the ion source region, and an ionization promoting inlet for injecting an ionization promoting fluid into the ion source region to interact with the plume to promote ionization of at least some of the plume.

    Abstract: A device for sealing to a chromatographic column includes an insertion body and a tip assembly. The insertion body has an attachment end, a tip opposite to the attachment end and a fluidic channel extending between the attachment end and the tip. An attachment feature located near the attachment end secures the insertion body to an actuator. An axially movable sheath may be provided at the tip to protect the tip assembly prior to and during coupling to a column end nut and to assist in aligning the device to the column end nut. The device can be loaded by manual clamping or by an automated clamp mechanism to achieve sufficient force for a fluid tight seal in the column end nut. Devices are column agnostic and may be used in a column oven to enable a chromatography system to be quickly configured with a wide variety of columns.

    Abstract: Described is a dual mode sample manager for a liquid chromatography system. The dual mode sample manager includes a sample needle, a sample loop, a metering pump, a needle seat and first and second valves. Each valve is configurable in two valve states to enable two modes of operation. In one mode, sample acquired and stored in the sample needle is injected into a chromatography system flow and, in the other mode, sample acquired through the sample needle and stored in the sample loop is injected into the chromatography system flow. The automated switching of the sample manager between the two modes of operation avoids the need for maintaining two separate liquid chromatography systems or manual reconfiguration of a chromatography system for users desiring the capability of both modes of operation.
