    摘要: A precolumn separator provides a method of separating a solvent from a sample for use in a gas chromatograph. The precolumn has an independent carrier gas control mechanism which allows the carrier gas to be passed through the preseparation column at a rate favorable for stripping the solvent from the sample. The solvent-laden carrier gas is then purged through a purge vent which is separate from the gas chromatograph. After a period of time which effectively permits the carrier gas to be significantly removed from the sample, the flow rate of the carrier gas is reduced to the normal operating gas flow rate and the purge vent is closed. The sample is then passed through the column to the gas chromatographic column. A second purge vent can then be directed to the purge vent inlet in the gas chromatograph. Preferably, the preseparation column is a packed column which includes a separate heating element. The heating element, in turn, can be surrounded by an air cooled jacket. The air cooled jacket has an inlet at the bottom of the preseparation column and a spiral flow path around the heater. This will cause the bottom of the preseparation column to be cooler than the upper portion which, in turn, will cause a compression of the sample near the outlet. This permits stripping of a significant amount of solvent from the sample while, at the same time, eliminating the need to match the sample injection rate to the solvent evaporation rate.

    摘要: A gas flow distribution system accumulates a sample from a sample bearing carrier gas in a micro-accumulator, delivers it using a carrier gas to a gas chromatography column, and supplies a carrier gas to the gas chromatography column to facilitate separation of the sample into sample components and transport the sample components to a mass spectrometer for trace vapor detection and analysis or testing in real time. The system is made of inert components and configured to have low dead volume for improved performance and accuracy of detection. External valves are employed for easy management and balance of the flow in the system to minimize operation time and facilitate continuous accumulation, delivery, and testing of the sample. The delivery of the sample to the gas chromatography column using an electrically heated cold trap as the micro-accumulator can be performed extremely fast. By further combining the sample accumulation phase and the sample testing phase, real time operation of trace vapor detection is achieved. Because the step of delivering the sample to the gas chromatography column is performed quickly, the accumulation of the sample can resume quickly and is nearly continuous for improved efficiency.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and a device to control the physical conditions of the solvent within a pre-column, in a gas chromatography analysis apparatus. To achieve desired and controlled conditions of recondensation in the pre-column with vaporization injectors or of vaporation with "on-column" injectors, the dew-point of the solvent in the pre-column is calculated and the factors which influence this dew-point are varied and/or the temperature of the pre-column is varied, in order to set such temperatures in a desired correlation.

    摘要: A method for analyzing multiple analyte specimens using an analytical column containing a selective adsorbent media. A carrier fluid flows through the column. The method involves introducing a first analyte specimen into the analytical column at an initial temperature. The analytical column is then heated to an intermediate temperature to cause the first analyte specimen to partially travel into the column. The analytical column is then cooled back to the initial temperature, followed by introduction of a second analyte specimen into the analytical column. The analytical column is then heated to a final temperature greater than the intermediate temperature, during which heating analytes from the first and second analyte specimen concurrently and discretely travels through, and sequentially elutes from, the analytical column. The method results in discrete bands of analyte being loaded at spaced intervals within the column, and can be used to load a multiplicity of samples for concurrent analysis. This results in sequential elution of the discrete analyte bands at the end of the analysis, providing for a substantial reduction in time as compared to running multiple samples separately. The method is well suited for the analysis of methylmalonic acid content in multiple urine specimens.
