Buffer generators are described based on electrodialytic devices. The methods of using these devices can generate buffers for diverse applications, including separations, e.g., HPLC and ion chromatography. Also provided are chromatographic devices including the buffer generators, generally located upstream from a chromatography column, sample injector valve or both.

In a liquid chromatographic system, removing at least part of a volatile component from the liquid sample stream after separation by flowing it through a volatile component-removal device including a porous wall having a surface coating of a permeable polymer less than 10 μm thick. A liquid chromatographic system suitable for performing the method. Also, a liquid chromatographic system in which volatile component is removed prior to separation across the same type of membrane or across a membrane made of a copolymer of perfluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxole.
摘要:
A luminescence detector with a liquid-core waveguide. For detecting photoluminescence, the exciting radiation is provided transversely instead of axially, thus eliminating the need for monochromators and focusing optics. For detecting chemiluminescence, the chemiluminescent reagents are mixed in situ in the detector, thus eliminating time loss which results in loss of chemiluminescence. A further aspect of the invention is the electrogeneration of an unstable reagent for the production of chemiluminescence. The unstable reagent is generated in such a way that there is complete separation of anodic and cathodic products without the use of a physical barrier.
摘要:
A method and apparatus has been provided for generating a high purity aqueous stream with selected ionic species--either cation (e.g. sodium) or anion (e.g. sulfate) and suitable for use as a chromatography eluent. In one form, an eluent generating means defines a source channel and a product channel separated by a permselective ion exchange membrane including exchangeable ions of the same charge as the selected ionic species. The membrane allows passage of ions of the same charge as the ionic species but is resistant to transmembrane passage of ions of opposite charge. Means is provided for applying an electrical potential between the source channel and product channel. In another form of the device, two different membranes define two source channels, a positively charged, anode source channel and a negatively charged cathode source channel, and a product channel. The effluent from the product channel is directed to the chromatographic separation means. Means is also provided for supplying liquid sample to the chromatographic separation means.
摘要:
Open tubular capillary columns for liquid and ion chromatography, based upon an ionically impermeable polyolefin capillary having a bore with a sulfonate-group- or amine-group-functionalized internal surface. The capillary columns may include a coating of ion exchanging nanoparticles electrostatically bound to the functionalized internal surface. The capillary columns may be made by exposing the interior surface to a sulfonating reagent comprising chlorosulfonic acid (ClSO3H), preferably from 85 wt % to 95 wt % chlorosulfonic acid at a process temperature of 20 to 25° C. The interior surface may be subsequently exposed to an asymmetrical diamine to form a sulfonic mid-linkage to the diamine, i.e., to form a sulfonamide-linked, amine-group-functionalized internal surface. The coating may be provided by subsequently exposing the interior surface to an aqueous suspension of ion exchanging nanoparticles to electrostatically bond the ion exchanging nanoparticles to the functionalized internal surface.
摘要:
An electrodialytic buffer generator is described. The buffer generator may include a central buffer-generating channel having an inlet and outlet, a second chamber, and a third chamber. The buffer-generating channel, the second chamber, and the third chamber may each include an electrode. The buffer generator may also include a first ion exchange barrier and a second ion exchange barrier. The first ion exchange barrier can be disposed between the second chamber and the buffer-generating channel. The second ion exchange barrier can be disposed between the third chamber and the buffer-generating channel.

摘要:
Method and apparatus for flow injection analysis (FIA) using an electroosmotic pump. The apparatus includes: an electroosmotic pump having a grounding joint; a sample injection valve for introducing a sample into a carrier stream which valve is in fluid communication with the grounding joint by way of a conduit; a dispersion coil in fluid communication with the sample injection valve; and a detector which is in fluid communication with the dispersion coil. The grounding joint couples the electroosmotic pumping system and the FIA system but electrically isolates them.Generally, the method utilizes one fluid which is electroosmotically pumped to propel a carrier for flow injection analysis at a controllable flow rate. More specifically, the method includes the steps of: adding a sample to a liquid carrier stream to form a sample zone in the carrier stream; flowing a liquid pumping stream by electroosmosis; and connecting the pumping stream with the carrier stream to propel the carrier stream.
