摘要:
Methods and systems for determining relative response factors for liquid chromatography using both molar concentration-based detection and mass concentration-based detection are described herein. A method includes determining a relative response factor for a compound based on the ratio of a molar-based peak area for the compound to the logarithm of the mass-based peak area for the compound and based on the ratio of a molar-based peak area for a reference compound divided by the logarithm of the mass-based peak area for the reference compound.

Described is a dual mode sample manager for a liquid chromatography system. The dual mode sample manager includes a sample needle, a sample loop, a metering pump, a needle seat and first and second valves. Each valve is configurable in two valve states to enable two modes of operation. In one mode, sample acquired and stored in the sample needle is injected into a chromatography system flow and, in the other mode, sample acquired through the sample needle and stored in the sample loop is injected into the chromatography system flow. The automated switching of the sample manager between the two modes of operation avoids the need for maintaining two separate liquid chromatography systems or manual reconfiguration of a chromatography system for users desiring the capability of both modes of operation.

A methodology scales supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and/or carbon dioxide based chromatography methods between different system and/or column configurations. The methodology includes measuring an average mobile phase density during a first separation utilizing CO2 as a mo bile phase component and substantially duplicating the average density profile for a second separation. Substantial duplication of the average mobile phase density (e.g., within about 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.1 %, 0.05%) results in chromatography for both system and/or column configurations having similar selectivity and retention factors. Average mobile phase density may be, either measured directly, calculated, or approximated using average pressure or density measurements. The average pressure profile may be used as a close approximation to duplicate average density profiles between separations.

Described is a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) instrument capable of performing analyses of multiple samples at the same time. Some embodiments of DSC instruments described herein include a thermal substrate that provides a substantially uniform temperature across a surface of the substrate. A plurality of DSC units is in thermal communication with the substrate, for example, by mounting the units directly to the surface of the substrate. Each DSC unit includes a second thermal substrate for further thermal isolation, and a reference platform and sample platform to receive a reference cell and a sample cell, respectively. A thermoelectric device is disposed between each platform and the second thermal substrate. Optionally, the reference and sample cells may be disposable chips that can be discarded after measurement are performed, thereby reducing or eliminating the need to clean instrument components to prevent cross-contamination for subsequent instrument operation.
摘要:
The present disclosure discusses a method of separating a sample (e.g., pharmaceutical drug, genotoxic impurity, biomarker, and/or biological metabolite) including coating a metallic flow path of a chromatographic system; injecting the sample into the chromatographic system; flowing the sample through the chromatographic system; separating the sample; and analyzing the separated sample using mass spectroscopy. In some examples, the coating applied to the surfaces defining the flow path is non-binding with respect to the sample—and the separated sample. Consequently, the sample does not bind to the low-binding surface of the coating of the flow path. The applied coating can increase the chromatographic peak area for the sample of the chromatographic system.

The present disclosure pertains to methods of separating nucleic acid component compounds from one another. In some embodiments, the methods comprise: (a) loading a sample fluid comprising a plurality of nucleic acid component compounds onto a chromatographic column comprising a zwitterionic stationary phase contained inside the column; (b) flowing a mobile phase through the chromatographic column over a time period thereby forming an eluent in which at least some of the plurality of the nucleic acid component compounds are separated from each other, the mobile phase comprising a polar aprotic solvent, a protic solvent, and a volatile buffer salt, wherein flowing the mobile phase comprises varying a ratio of the protic solvent to the polar aprotic solvent over at least a portion of the time period and varying an ionic strength of the volatile buffer salt over at least a portion of the time period.

A rotary valve that includes a stator, a rotor and a plurality of sample channels. The stator includes a stator surface having an inlet port, an outlet port and a plurality of selectable ports. The rotor includes a rotor surface having a first rotor channel and a second rotor channel. The rotor is configurable in a plurality of rotor positions, each of which couples the inlet port to one of the selectable ports through the first rotor channel and couples the outlet port to another one of the selectable ports through the second rotor channel. The two selectable ports are coupled to each other through one of the sample channels. The rotor has a bypass state defined by a rotor position, or angular range of rotor positions, at which the inlet port is coupled to the outlet port through the second rotor channel.
