    摘要: A device for ion chromatography comprises a tube with an inlet opening and an outlet opening and an inner diameter from about 40 microns to about 10 microns. There is an aperture through one side of the tube into a lumen of the tube. At least a portion of the inner surface of the tube has a first charge. An ion exchange barrier covers the aperture on an outside surface of the tube. The inner surface of the tube, from the inlet opening to the aperture, is coated with ion exchange particles having a diameter ranging from about 30 nm to about 200 nm. The ion exchange particles have a second charge opposite the first charge. The inner surface of the tube, from the outlet opening to the aperture, is not coated with ion exchange particles.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for mass spectrometry of a negatively charged organic synthetic compound, and a matrix that can be used in said method. A method for mass spectrometry of a negatively charged organic synthetic compound, the method comprising using, as a liquid matrix, an ionic liquid comprising an amine ion and an acidic group-containing organic substance ion. For example, the amine is 3-aminoquinoline (3-AQ), and the acidic group-containing organic substance is p-coumaric acid (p-CA). The negatively charged organic synthetic compound to be analyzed is, for example, an organic synthetic polymer compound or a complex compound.

    摘要: An apparatus for collecting liquid fractions from a separation/reaction apparatus (1). A capillary (2) guides an extracted liquid fraction to a branching unit (3), a collection arrangement (4) carries a plurality of target vessels (5) receiving the liquid fraction from the capillary and a fluid line (6) is flow-connected to a fluid pump (7) and opens into the branching unit. The capillary and the fluid line each have outlet openings in the direct vicinity of one another at their end facing a target vessel such that liquid emerging from the outlet opening (2′) of the capillary transitions into the outlet opening (6′) of the fluid line. This precludes back mixing with earlier/later liquid fractions, precludes uncontrolled dripping of sample substance at the transfer point, speeds displacement of the target vessels in the collection arrangement, facilitates automation of the fraction processing procedure, and results in a more compact fraction collection apparatus.

    摘要: In the present system and method, a conduit from a LC device continuously transports solvent, buffers, and analytes to the inlet of a solvent removal and analyte conversion device which evaporates the solvents, leaving non-volatile analytes for detection. The device comprises a rotating disk. The liquid chromatograph device can be any device using liquid chromatography to separate molecules. The solvents in the LC effluent can include, but are not limited to, water, methanol, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and acetone. After removal of the volatile components, the non-volatile analytes are converted with a concentrated energy source so that they may be detectable.

    摘要: A chromatography system for at least one of tangential flow chromatography and lateral flow chromatography comprising: an inlet; a functionalised adsorbent chromatography medium downstream of the inlet; an outlet downstream of the adsorbent chromatography medium; and a flow guide downstream of the inlet and upstream of the adsorbent chromatography medium and configured to distribute a flow of a liquid from the inlet across a width of the adsorbent chromatography medium; wherein the flow guide comprises a pattern of channels providing flow paths from the inlet to different parts of the adsorbent chromatography medium along the width of the adsorbent chromatography medium, wherein the pattern of channels is provided so as to reduce a difference in arrival time and/or flow velocity of liquid reaching the adsorbent chromatography medium across the width of the adsorbent chromatography medium.

    摘要: Tracing subterranean fluid flow includes providing a first polymeric tracer to a first injector, collecting a first aqueous sample from a first producer, and assessing the presence of the first polymeric tracer in the first aqueous sample. The first polymeric tracer includes a first polymer formed from at least a first monomer. The presence of the first polymeric tracer in the first aqueous sample is assessed by removing water from the first aqueous sample to yield a first dehydrated sample. pyrolyzing the first dehydrated sample to yield a first gaseous sample, and assessing the presence of a pyrolization product of the first polymer in the first gaseous sample. The presence of the pyrolization product of the first polymer in the first gaseous sample is indicative of the presence of a first subterranean flow pathway between the first injector location and the first producer location.

    摘要: Because most ion optics of mass spectrometry systems are subject to ion deposition and may exhibit significantly different behavior following substantial contamination (e.g., loss of sensitivity), fouled surfaces must be regularly cleaned to maintain sensitivity. While the surfaces of front-end components (e.g., curtain plates, orifice plates, Qjet, Q0, IQ0) may be relatively easy to clean, the fouling of components contained within the downstream high-vacuum chambers (e.g., Q1, IQ1) can incur substantial delays and expense as the high-vacuum chambers must be vented and substantially disassembled prior to cleaning. Methods and systems for controlling contamination of components of mass spectrometer systems are provided herein. By reducing the transmission of contaminating ions during non-data acquisition periods, the present teachings can increase throughput, improve robustness, and/or decrease the downtime typically required to vent/disassemble/clean the fouled components.
