摘要:
Concentration of the solutes contained in a liquid solvent is effected by passing the solvent through a first trapping means that adsorbs them, flushing the first trapping means with supercritical fluid and reducing its solubility parameter in a second trapping means so that the latter can adsorb desired solutes.

The invention relates to a connecting device for fluid circuits in column chromatography. To ensure an inert connection without dead volumes, the device comprises a glass or fused silica thick-wall body with an inner capillary channel connected to the outside through radial holes. In such holes, metal or fused silica capillaries are inserted and each fixed by means of a coupling carrying a capillary set screw and a coupling fixing screw, with said screws acting on opposite positions of said body wall.

An analysis of the concentration of the individual components of a sample is obtained using a chromatographic analyzer where the concentrations of the individual components or the sensitivity of the detector to the individual components vary over a wide range. The sample is injected into a first chromatographic column and trace components of interest are eluted to a detector for measurement. The major components are backflushed, diluted, provided to a second chromatographic column and then eluted to a detector for measurement. The dilution of the major components ensures the linearity of the detector response. Analysis of both the trace components and major components is thus provided.
摘要:
An apparatus for sampling an atmosphere for the presence of a constituent in which a flow of the atmosphere is first drawn through a trap capable of releasably absorbing the constituent and the trap is then passed through a carrier gas stream which removes and conveys the constituent into a detector. The trap can comprise a rotatable disc of wire mesh which cuts continuously across a flow of the atmosphere and a carrier gas flow. The volume flow rate of the atmosphere is greater than that of the carrier gas so giving a large concentration gain of the constituent in the carrier flow. The apparatus can be used for detecting the presence in the atmosphere of vapors emanating from explosives and for this purpose the carrier gas flow can be directed into an electron capture detector.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for rapid chromatographic analysis of gaseous mixtures. Apparatus includes a programming valve arrangement comprising an eight port valve block, having a single channel and having a movable valve plate member slidably affixed thereto by a valve plate carrier which in a first position permits simultaneous sampling of the gas stream to be analyzed and back flushing of the chromatograph column and in a second position rapid analysis of the gas sample. By the addition of one or more six port programming valves or equivalent sampling means in series with the eight port valve, the apparatus may function to rapidly analyze two or more separate gas streams.
摘要:
A method and system for sample analysis involve a temporally-resolving separation of sample components. In the method, solvent vapors are condensed prior to entering a temporally-resolving separator, a GC column, for example, and solvent-depleted vapors are directed to the separator where constituents are resolved in time. A system for analyzing a sample comprises an injection port, a temporally-resolving separator (e.g., a GC column) and a conduit connecting the two. The injection port is at a temperature sufficiently high to vaporize the solvent and analytes present in a sample. The conduit is configured and/or operated to condense the solvent, while maintaining the analytes in the vapor phase.

The disclosed system and method improve measurement of trace volatile chemicals, such as by Gas Chromatography (GC) and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). A first trapping system can include a plurality of capillary columns in series and a focusing column fluidly coupled to a first detector. The first trapping system can retain and separate compounds in a sample, including C3 hydrocarbons and compounds heavier than C3 hydrocarbons (e.g., up to C12 hydrocarbons, or compounds having a boiling point around 250° C.), and can transfer the compounds from the focusing column to the first detector. A second trapping system can receive compounds that the first trapping system does not retain, and can include a packed trap, a polar column and a PLOT column fluidly coupled to one or more second detectors. The second trapping system can remove water from the sample and can separate and detect compounds including C2 hydrocarbons and Formaldehyde.
