A liquid chromatograph comprises an analyzing chip in which a capillary is formed in a substrate and a detector section is disposed downstream of the capillary. The capillary is covered so that an inlet opening end and an outlet opening end of said capillary flow path is opened. A frame member has a sample introduction path, a carrier liquid introduction path and a liquid discharge path. The analyzing chip is movably disposed in the frame member so that the inlet opening end and the outlet opening end of the capillary are selectively in communication with and/or under interruption against said sample introduction path, the carrier liquid introduction path and the liquid discharge path. The liquid chromatograph is very small in size but is easy to handle. Incidentally, there is disclosed also a sample introduction apparatus and method for the chromatograph, and an FET type detector suitable for the chromatograph.
摘要:
Catecholamines can be detected with high sensitivity in a shortened time period, by introducing a sample containing catecholamines into an adsorption column packed with an adsorbent to adsorb catecholamines to the column, then introducing a reagent for derivatization to effect pre-column labeling and then analyzing the pre-column labeled catecholamines by means of high performance liquid chromatography. Connection of the adsorption column and a separation column of high performance liquid chromatography via a fluid path changeover valve enables to automated analysis of catecholamines.
摘要:
An autosampler consists of a needle to draw specimen from a specimen container into a passage therein; a block having a passage that follows the passge in the needle; a suction mechanism for drawing in the specimen by suction through the passages in the needle and the block; a discharge mechanism for discarding the specimen drawn in by the suction mechanism; and a detecting device for detecting air bubble in the specimen, the detecting device being embedded in the block in such a manner as to face the passage in the block. The detecting device detects the air bubbles in the specimen according to changes in physical or chemical properties of the specimen passing through the passage in the block. The discharge mechanism is activated by the detecting device to discharge air-mixed specimen. When even a small amount of air is drawn into the passage from the specimen container, in which only a small amount of specimen is contained, the air specimen can reliably be distinguished from normal specimen by this autosampler. Therefore the reliability of the system using the autosampler can be significantly improved.

An apparatus for electrochemically measuring clinical emergency check items of blood for a short time by flowthrough system, using a small amount of whole blood as a blood sample, which comprises a blood pH/gas component sensor unit, an electrolyte component sensor unit, and/or a biochemical component sensor unit, arranged in series in this order, a sampler and these sensor units being communicated with one another through a blood sample flow passage or channel, each of the sensor units being provided with sensor electrodes and at least one reference electrode as electrochemical sensor means.Detected values from each of the sensor units are transmitted to a computer or calculator through a current amplifier and/or a differential amplifier for a differential voltage from the voltage of the reference electrode to compute pH, pressure, or concentrations from the detected values, and numerically displayed on a display device connected to the computer.
摘要:
The present invention provides an ion selective electrode for anions such as Cl.sup.- and cations such as Ca.sup.2+ which has a sensitive membrane comprising a polymer material and containing an ion sensitive material and a plasticizer. In thins ion selective electrode, the ion sensitive material is an ion exchanger such as a quaternary ammonium salt, a quaternary phosphonium salt or an organic phosphate and the plasticizer is a compound having the formula (1): ##STR1## wherein X represents an alkyl group, a phenyl group or a phenyl group to which a functional group bonds. As the plasticizer there may also be used a mixture of the compound of the formula (1) with an alcohol compound such as an alcohol having a dielectric constant of 10 or less and containing 10 or more carbon atoms or an ester compound.
摘要:
A new interface is interposed between a liquid chromatograph and a mass spectrometer, and it consists of a nebulizer, an evaporator and a cooler. An effluent from the liquid chromatograph is nebulized by the nebulizer. The nebulized effluent is heated by the evaporator, and has only its solvent evaporated. A mixed fluid which consists of the evaporated solvent and the nebulized sample is guided to the cooler, and is cooled therein. At this time, the evaporated solvent is condensed again and is separated from the nebulized sample as a liquid. The nebulized sample left behind is guided to an ion source of the mass spectrometer.
