Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process that includes obtaining a porous medium comprising a porous material having a first shape and an initial porosity profile. The porous medium is engaged with a cavity in a fluidic device, wherein the cavity is in fluid communication with a channel of the fluidic device. The first shape of the porous material can be adjusted to a second shape resulting in the initial porosity profile being adjusted to a target porosity profile. Such adjustment can be accomplished by the engaging of the porous medium with the cavity, by pre-adjusting a shape of the porous media before insertion into the cavity, or by some combination thereof. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Described is a fitting for coupling fluidic paths which facilitates secure and low leak rate fluid flow through a fluidic path junction such as a junction in a liquid chromatography system or other chemical analysis instrument. Fluid containing various mixtures of chemical samples can pass through the junction at high pressure with little or no trapped residue remaining in a volume at the connection. According to various embodiments, a face seal is achieved between two separate fluidic path features. In some embodiments, the sealing of the fluidic paths is aided by the use of a compliant polymer seal. The seal facilitates intimate contact between adjacent surfaces and significantly limits or prevents the entry of fluid under high pressure into an unswept volume. Thus the risk of carryover and its adverse effect on measurements is reduced or eliminated.
Abstract translation: 描述了用于耦合流体路径的配件,其有助于安全和低泄漏流体流过流体路径连接,例如液相色谱系统或其它化学分析仪器中的结。 含有各种化学样品混合物的流体可以在高压下通过接头,很少或没有残留残留在连接处的体积中的残留物。 根据各种实施例,在两个独立的流体路径特征之间实现面密封。 在一些实施例中,通过使用柔性聚合物密封件有助于流体路径的密封。 密封件有助于相邻表面之间的紧密接触,并且显着地限制或防止流体在高压下进入未被吹扫的体积。 因此,减少或消除了遗留的风险及其对测量的不利影响。
