    摘要: High throughput liquid chromatography systems include multiple separation columns and multiple flow-through detection regions in sensory communication with a common radiation source and a multi-channel detector. Preferred detector types include a multi-anode photomultiplier tube, a charge-coupled device detector, a diode array, and a photodiode array. In certain embodiments, separation columns are microfluidic and integrated into a unitary microfluidic device. The optical path through a detection region is preferably coaxial with the path of eluate flow along a flow axis through a detection region. On-board or off-board detection regions may be provided.

    摘要: Systems for analyzing multiple samples in parallel using mass spectrometric preferably coupled with fluid phase separation techniques are provided. A multi-analyzer mass spectrometer includes multiple inlets, multiple mass analyzers, and multiple transducers to conduct mass analyses of multiple samples in parallel. A modular mass analyzer may include a vacuum enclosure, a chassis, and multiple mass analysis modules disposed within the chassis. Modules are preferably disposed in a spatially compact two-dimensional array. A common multi-stage vacuum system may be utilized in conjunction with baffles or partitions disposed within and between modules to maintain differential vacuum conditions within the spectrometer utilizing a minimum number of pumps. Common control inputs may be provided to multiple modules or other components within a multi-analyzer spectrometer. Fluid phase separation devices for use with a multi-analyzer spectrometer may be microfluidic devices utilizing chromatographic, electrophoretic, or other separation methods.

    摘要: Systems and method for removing undesirable gas from microfluidic separation devices to prepare them for operation are provided. The microfluidic devices contain separation media that provides a significant fluidic impedance. A vacuum source is used to evacuate gas from, and a positive pressure source is used to introduce liquid into, the microfluidic device to minimize the presence of undesirable bubbles. Where hydrophobic materials are present within the microfluidic device, the liquid may be an organic solvent. Positive pressures of at least about 100 psi are preferably employed. A microfluidic separation device may include multiple separation columns and a distribution network in fluid communication with the columns.

    摘要: Systems and methods for performing multiple parallel chromatographic separations are provided. Microfluidic cartridges containing multiple separation columns allow multiple separations to be performed in a limited space by a single instrument containing high-pressure pumps and analyte detectors. The use of pressure fit interfaces allows the microfluidic cartridges to easily be removed and replaced within the instrument, either manually or robotically.
