    摘要: A sample injection method for liquid chromatography is performed with an injection valve having a waste port, two sample loop ports, and two high-pressure ports. One high-pressure port can be connected to a pump and the other high-pressure port can be connected to a chromatography column. A sample loop is connected to one of the sample loop ports on one end and to a pump volume of a sample conveying device on the other end. A section of the sample loop can be separated to facilitate receiving a sample fluid in the sample loop. A control unit controls the injection valve and the sample conveying device. The sample injector allows a sample to be loaded into the sample loop and then pressurized to an operating pressure prior to injecting the sample into the chromatography column. The sample loop may also be isolated from the operating pressure for facilitating depressurization of the loop.

    摘要: Systems and methods for automated handling and maintaining nanoparticle standard solutions in a substantially homogenous state with controlled introduction to a fluid sample are described. A system embodiment includes, but is not limited to, an agitator configured to mix a nanoparticle standard solution in a container to provide a mixed nanoparticle standard having a substantially homogenous distribution of nanoparticles; and a fluid preparation system fluidically coupled with the container to receive the mixed nanoparticle standard and direct the mixed nanoparticle standard to a fluid sample stream for inline mixing therewith.

    摘要: Described are a fluidic network and method for aseptic sampling from a process source. The fluidic network includes a valve that isolates the valve port that receives the process sample from all other valve ports except when the process sample flows through the valve. The fluidic network further includes a sample treatment module having a filter element and a sample preparation element to prepare the process sample for analysis. A positive displacement pump operates to draw the process sample into the fluidic network and to push a portion of the acquired process sample through the sample treatment module before dispensing the treated process sample from the fluidic network. Process sample remaining in a process sample supply line leading from the process source to the process inlet port may be pushed back to the process source via a gas flow to limit the acquired process sample volume.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure present novel systems, devices and methods for an automated biological sample analysis using mass-spectrometry. The time from sample introduction to the reporting of data, in some embodiments, takes a relatively short amount of time (e.g., several minutes). In some embodiments, a biological sample to be analyzed is a blood sample. For many applications, only a single drop of blood may be sufficient. Through the use of a mixture of standards with unique molecular mass, a quantitative analysis of the target analyte can be performed in a single MS run (for example), eliminating the need to create and analyze standard curves. One advantage of such embodiments may be that the system, devices, and methods can eliminate the need for batch creation since the requirement to amortize the time and effort of creating and analyzing standard curves can be eliminated.
