  • Automated solution generator
    Publication number: 20070185619
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated solution generator, such as for use in generating buffering or clinical formulations or mobile phase solutions for chromatography systems, and methods for operating the automated solution generator to accurately dispense solutions, perform dilutions and prepare solutions with reduced user intervention.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 2, 2004
    Publication date: August 9, 2007
    Inventors: Adam Fermier, Kelly Swinney, Benjamin Young
  • Chromatography system with gradient storage and method for operating the same
    Patent number: 7144502
    Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an ultra-high pressure chromatography system (UHPLC) is provided and includes a high pressure chromatography arrangement of equipment (HPLC system) as well as a UHPLC module for converting the HPLC system into the UHPLC system. One exemplary module includes a gradient storage column fluidly connected to the HPLC equipment in a post injector manner such that an injection plug can be selectively delivered and stored, in an inverted manner, therein at low pressures, while stored injection plug (gradient) is delivered to an analytical column using higher pressures for chromatographic separation.
