Sample collection container, sample collection apparatus, and sample collection method in supercritical fluid system
摘要:
There is provided a sample collection container, a sample collection apparatus, and a sample collection method used in a supercritical fluid system capable of collecting a multi-constituent sample contained in a supercritical fluid at low cost and high collection efficiency. The pressure of a supercritical fluid containing a sample is reduced to a pressure close to the atmospheric pressure, and the depressurized supercritical fluid is forced to undergo adiabatic expansion to form gas-phase CO2 containing a liquid component in the form of aerosol. The gas-phase CO2 is fractionated for each constituent of the contained sample, transferred to a probe 60 of Liquid Handler, and dispensed into a large number of collection vials 300 under the atmospheric pressure, each of which is provided with a vial cap 100. The aerosol-containing gas-phase CO2 is sprayed through the tip of an introduction tube 210 provided in each of the vial cap 100 in a direction downwardly-inclined from the tangential direction along an inner circumferential surface 308 of the corresponding collection vial 300, and swirls and falls in the collection vial 300. In this process, the liquid component containing the sample collides with the inner circumferential surface 308 and is trapped thereon, whereas the gas-phase CO2 is discharged out of a discharge hole 109 in the vial cap 100.
