    摘要: A liquid chromatography system includes a solvent delivery system, a sample manager including a sample delivery system in fluidic communication with the solvent delivery system, the sample delivery system configured to inject a sample from a sample-vial into a chromatographic flow stream, a liquid chromatography column located downstream from the sample delivery system, and a detector located downstream from the liquid chromatography column. The sample delivery system further includes a first needle drive including a first sample needle configured to extract the sample from the sample-vial and deliver the sample to the liquid chromatography column, and a first syringe in communication with the first sample needle configured to meter extraction of the sample from the sample-vial. The sample manager further includes a sample automation system that includes a second needle drive including a second sample needle configured to add a volume of reagent to the sample-vial.

    摘要: A gas chromatograph comprises a sample gas generation unit, separation column, and detector. Multiple gas sources serve as carrier gases to transport sample gas to the separation column. A switching component connects the gas sources to the sample gas generation unit based on user-input information. This information is stored in a gas type memory, which aids a gas type identification component in determining the carrier gas type by monitoring the switching component's status and referring to the stored data.

    摘要: A gas analyzer includes: a column that separates a component in a sample gas; a valve that switches, between a test sample gas and a standard sample gas, the sample gas to be supplied to the column; a valve that adjusts an introduction amount of the sample gas to be supplied to the column; a detector that detects, by gas chromatography, the component in the sample gas separated by the column; and a control device. The control device controls the valve to allow the introduction amount to be a predetermined amount, calculates a peak area value of a chromatogram obtained by the detector when the introduction amount is the predetermined amount, and calculates a correspondence between the introduction amount and the peak area value.

    摘要: A sample dispatcher for a fluid separation apparatus includes a sampling path including a sampling volume, a sampling unit, and a retaining unit. The sampling unit receives a fluidic sample, and the sampling volume temporarily stores an amount of the received sample. The retaining unit receives and retains from the sampling volume at least a portion of the stored sample, and has different retention characteristics for different components of the sample. A switching unit is coupled to the sampling path, a sampling fluid drive, a mobile phase drive, and a separating device. In a feed injection configuration of the switching unit, the mobile phase drive, the separating device, and the sampling path are coupled together in a coupling point for combining a flow from the sampling fluid drive containing the fluidic sample retained by the retaining unit with a flow of the mobile phase from the mobile phase drive.

    摘要: A method for determining a state of a fluidic system can include measuring back pressures in the fluidic system at different times and determining a state of the fluidic system. The determination is based on at least the measured back pressures and on additional status information indicative of at least one status of the fluidic system at at least one of the different times.

    摘要: A flowpath switch valve is configured for extended service life by spreading the region, of the sliding surfaces of a stator and a rotor, that is subject to wear over the entirety of the sliding surfaces. The stator has fixed stator flowpaths, and the rotor has rotor flowpaths. A flowpath switch valve, depending on the rotor rotation state, realizes connection patterns that include: a first connection pattern wherein a rotor flowpath 241 connects a fixed stator flowpath 31 and a fixed stator flowpath 32; a second connection pattern wherein the rotor flowpath 241 connects the fixed stator flowpath 31 and a fixed stator flowpath 36; a third connection pattern wherein a rotor flowpath 242 connects the fixed stator flowpath 31 and the fixed stator flowpath 32; and a fourth connection pattern wherein the rotor flowpath 242 connects the fixed stator flowpath 31 and the fixed stator flowpath 36.
