摘要:
A method for controlling fluid flowing through a chromatographic system includes determining a fluidic parameter related to density at a first fluidic location in the chromatographic system; and in response to the determined fluidic parameter, modifying a volumetric flow rate or a pressure at a second fluidic location in the chromatographic system to produce a selected mass flow rate of the fluid.

A column-conditioning enclosure includes a column chamber adapted to hold one or more chromatography separation columns. A duct system provides an airflow path around the column chamber such that the one or more chromatography separation columns held within the column chamber are isolated from the airflow path. An air mover disposed in the airflow path generates a flow of air within the duct system. A heat exchanger system disposed in the airflow path near the air to exchange heat with the air as the air flows past the heat exchanger system. The air circulates through the duct system around the column chamber, convectively exchanging heat with the column chamber to produce a thermally conditioned environment for the one or more chromatography separation columns held within the column chamber.

Described is a method of transferring a chromatographic method between liquid chromatography (LC) systems and a sample for performing the method. The method is based on a determination of an isoretention temperature at which two solutes co-elute. The method enables separations to be performed using different LC systems with reproducible and equivalent results. For example, the method allows for a chromatography method developed for HPLC to be readily transferred to a UPLC system and for a chromatography method developed for a UPLC system to be more readily transferred to a HPLC system. The method addresses LC systems having column ovens of different design in which the internal column temperatures are not equal although the operating temperatures of the column ovens may be accurately controlled to equal values. The retention behavior and resolution of different LC systems is caused to be substantially the same so that equivalent separation results are obtained.

To heat a flowing liquid, an apparatus includes a heater block assembly having a heater block made of thermally conductive material. The heater block assembly has a tube inlet, a tube outlet, and a tube path between the tube inlet and tube outlet. Tubing extends through the tube path from the tube inlet to the tube outlet. The tubing is in thermal communication with the heater block. A heater cartridge, in thermal communication with the heater block, is configured to provide heat to the heater block for transfer to liquid flowing through the tubing between the tube inlet and the tube outlet of the heater block assembly. Circuitry is in electrical communication with the heater cartridge to control a temperature of the heater block by controlling operation of the heater cartridge.

A housing of a column unit is tubular-shaped, and includes a first opening and a second opening, and an inner space separated from outside air by an insulating material. An air cooling section including a cooling device is arranged on a side of the first opening of the housing. At the time of cooling the inside of the inner space of the housing, air is caused, by a fan, to flow through the air cooling section and from the side of the first opening to a side of the second opening. A column section including a separation column and a heater is arranged inside the housing. A gap through which air flows from the first opening to the second opening is formed between the column section and an inner wall of the inner space of the housing.

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for separation analysis of mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) by post-column fluorescence detection method. The apparatus is based on chromatography, and includes a column with a solid phase having affinity for phosphate, a flow path for the eluate, a heater installed on the flow path for M6P and a basic amino acid to react by heating the eluate in the flow path, and a fluorescence detector installed downstream of the heater for continuously irradiating the eluate with excitation light and measuring the intensity of the emission, and may include in the flow path a supply channel for addition of a basic amino acid between the column and the heater. The method is characterized in that it uses the apparatus and a second mobile phase consisting of a second buffer containing phosphate of predetermined concentration and adjusted to a predetermined pH.
