    Abstract: An analytical system comprises a chromatography column configured to separate a sample into one or more analytes; an ion removal device configured to remove at least ions of one charge from the mobile phase, the ion removal device fluidly coupled to an output of the chromatography column; an ion selective sensor configured to measure a signal corresponding to an activity of the ions of one charge in the mobile phase, the ion selective sensor fluidly coupled to an output of the ion removal device; an optional diverter valve that can interrupt the flow of the mobile phase; and a microprocessor configured to monitor the signal of the ion selective sensor and to either switch the optional diverter valve to interrupt the flow of the mobile phase or turn off the pump when the signal is greater than a predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating an acid or base, e.g. for chromatographic analysis of anions. For generating a base the method includes the steps of providing a cation source in a cation source reservoir, flowing an aqueous liquid stream through a base generation chamber separated from the cation source reservoir by a barrier (e.g. a charged membrane) substantially preventing liquid flow while providing a cation transport bridge, applying an electric potential between an anode cation source reservoir and a cathode in the base generation chamber to electrolytically generate hydroxide ions therein and to cause cations in the cation source reservoir to electromigrate and to be transported across the barrier toward the cathode to combine with the transported cations to form cation hydroxide, and removing the cation hydroxide in an aqueous liquid stream as an effluent from the first base generation chamber. Suitable cation sources include a salt solution, a cation hydroxide solution or cation exchange resin.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for inhibiting translocation of ions across ion exchange barriers include an eluent generator having an ion source reservoir with a first electrode, an eluent generation chamber with a second electrode, an ion exchange barrier disposed therebetween, and means for reversing the polarity of a voltage or current applied across the first and second electrodes. A first polarity voltage or current applied across the electrodes generates an electric field that promotes translocation of eluent counter ions from the reservoir across the barrier, where the counter ions combine with eluent ions electrolytically generated in the chamber. By reversing the polarity of the voltage or current across the electrodes, the resulting electric field inhibits translocation of counter ions across the barrier from the reservoir into the chamber. Reverse voltage or current bias reduces counter ion concentration in the resting chamber to prevent exhaustion of ion suppressor capacity during start up.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are scientific instrument support systems, as well as related methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media. For example, in some embodiments, samples are tracked using unique identifiers. An autosampler may detect the samples using unique identifiers and provide alerts when the sample is placed in the wrong location or when an incorrect or incompatible workflow is selected for the sample.

    Abstract: An electrolytic eluent generator system includes a flow-through eluent generating zone, a first reservoir comprising configured to hold a first ion source; a second reservoir configured to hold a second ion source; a first ion exchange connector disposed between the first reservoir and the eluent generating zone, wherein the connector substantially prevents liquid flow through the ion exchange connector and transports ions only of the same charge as said first ions; and a second ion exchange connector disposed between the second reservoir and the eluent generation zone, wherein the connector substantially prevents liquid flow through the ion exchange connector and transports ions only of the same charge as said second ions. The second ion exchange connector is of opposite charge to the first ion exchange connector.
