    摘要: Disclosed is a method for determining an operating flow rate for a chromatographic column (4) in an HPLC system (1). The method comprises: measuring/calculating a pressure of the system (1) without the chromatographic column (4) for one or more flow rates; fitting a function to the flow rate(s) and corresponding pressure(s), calculating from the function and a predetermined recommended flow rate for the chromatographic column (4) a system pressure drop at the predetermined recommended flow rate. An operating flow rate is determined by summing the system pressure drop and a maximal column pressure limit, and determining a contribution of the system pressure drop to the summed pressure. If this contribution exceeds 1% an operating flow rate for the column is determined to a flow rate that corresponds to a pressure at a pressure monitor arranged before the column that is lower than the predetermined maximum column pressure limit.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for determining size of biomolecules separated in a medium by an electric field using marker molecules of known size, comprising —(101) detecting a plurality of bands and forming a detected marker sequence and a detected unknown sequence based on a separation criterion, —(102) determining band properties for each detected band, —(103) comparing the band properties of the detected bands of the detected marker sequence with known band properties for a plurality of marker molecules forming a known marker sequence and assigning a score to each comparison, said score being based on at least one of relative distance, relative intensity, expected distance and expected intensity between bands, —(104) selecting the comparison with the highest score and associating all or a subset of the detected bands of the detected marker sequence with said plurality of marker molecules of the known marker sequence in accordance with said comparison to determine size of the all or a subset of the detected marker sequence, and —(105) comparing the bands of the detected marker sequence with the bands of the detected unknown sequence to determine a size of biomolecules for each identified band of the detected unknown sequence based on the known sizes of the marker molecules. The invention also relates to software configured to perform the method and to a computer readable medium for storing said software.
