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.

The present disclosure is directed to nonporous polymer particles having an average particle size of 1 to 10 micrometers and being functionalized with streptavidin. The streptavidin functionalized particles of the present disclosure can be bound to biotinylated antibodies, biotinylated antigen-binding fragments thereof, or biotinylated oligonucleotides to create customizable affinity chromatography columns. That is, the functionalized nonporous polymer particles can be packed in a stainless steel, titanium, or other metal or metal alloy column for affinity high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Embodiments described herein relate to improved devices and techniques for measuring the charge carried by analyte particles. The charge may be measured in a way that does not destroy the analyte, so that the analyte remains available for further analysis. The charged analyte particles may pass through (or by) an electrode. In doing so, they induce a counter charge on that electrode which can be detected electronically. Subsequent to their passage through that electrode, the particles can be collected on a substrate or may pass in real-time into a mass spectrometer. In some embodiments, both conventional destructive detection and nondestructive detection may both be present in an improved charged aerosol detector and the stream of charged particles may be directed to one or the other by a suitable redirector. Embodiments may be combined with light scattering analysis to provide further non-destructive analysis. Various combinations of these improvements are also described.
摘要:
The present disclosure discusses a method of separating a sample (e.g., small organic acid metabolite) including coating a flow path of a chromatographic system. The coating along the flow path is vapor deposited and prevents or severely decreases metal interactions between the metallic chromatographic system and the sample.

Threaded conventional column end fittings for liquid chromatography columns do not have face seals that enable them to be used with clamping fluidic connectors. The exemplary embodiments may provide adapters that interface with conventional threaded column end fittings so that the column assembly may now be used with the clamping fluidic connectors. The adapters of the exemplary embodiments may include lock nuts for securing the adapters to column end fittings of a liquid chromatography columns. The lock nuts may include threads that bear the load of the adapter rather than the column end fitting of the chromatography column. The threads of the lock nut become the load bearing surfaces, and the load is distributed over the surfaces where the threads of the adapter engage with the threads of the lock nut.
