Abstract:
A method for detecting analytes in flow rate analysis and chromatography is described. The method comprises the following steps: a) providing one or more light sources, an optical wave guide, a container containing a specimen with one or more analytes, and one or more detectors; b) exposing the container containing the specimen to light of one or various, defined wavelengths and/or wavelength ranges; and c) detecting the resulting light waves by one or more detectors after the specimen container is exposed to light of one or various defined wavelengths and/or wavelength ranges, wherein the specimen is irradiated by transferring the light waves through an non-flexible or non-flexibly arranged optical wave guide before the light waves enter the specimen container. The non-flexible or non-flexibly arranged optical wave guide is not susceptible to interference and permits selective irradiation with one or more wavelengths sequentially or simultaneously without requiring much time.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dialysis cell for sample preparation for a chemical analysis method, in particular for ion chromatography. The dialysis cell comprises a donor channel and an acceptor channel extending parallel thereto. The donor channel and the acceptor channel are separated from each other by a selectively permeable dialysis membrane. In particular, an analyte that is dissolved in a donor solution in the donor channel can enter through the dialysis membrane into the acceptor solution in the acceptor channel. The acceptor channel has at least in some sections a volume that is smaller than the volume of the donor channel extending parallel thereto. Acceptor and donor channels are formed from half-cells, between which the dialysis membrane is arranged, wherein the donor channel and the acceptor channel are designed in each case as a recess in a contact surface of one of the half-cells with the dialysis membrane.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an oven (1, 1′) for an analytical system, in particular for a titration system and especially for a Karl Fischer titration system. The oven (1, 1′) comprises a housing, an insulation system (2a, 2a′, 2b, 2b′, 2c, 2c′) and an insert (3, 3′) for a sample vessel. The insulation system (2a, 2a′, 2b, 2b′, 2c, 2c′) is arranged at least partially around the insert (3, 3′). At least one heating element is arranged between the insulation system (2a, 2a′, 2b, 2b′, 2c, 2c′) and the insert (3, 3′) and at least partially surrounding the insert (3, 3′). The invention also relates to a titration system with such an oven (1, 1′) and a titration method.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for automated liquid-liquid extraction. The method comprises the steps of: i) providing an extraction device, ii) providing a vessel with a hydrophilic phase and a hydrophobic phase, wherein at least one component to be extracted is contained in one of the two phases, iii) determining a conductivity difference ΔList between the hydrophilic phase and the hydrophobic phase using a conductivity sensor. The upper phase is extracted at at least two different speeds v1 to vn, wherein the last speed vn is slower than a previous speed vn−1, preferably slower than v1 to vn−1.
