  • Microfluidic contaminant trap for trapping contaminants in gas chromatography
    Patent number: 9664598
    Abstract: Microfluidic contaminant traps of certain representative embodiments illustratively comprise: an inlet configured to connect directly or indirectly to a sample inlet of a gas chromatography (GC) system; an outlet configured to connect directly to an inlet of a GC column or indirectly to the GC column via another fluidic component; an interlayer comprising a channel; an upper layer disposed over and bonded to the interlayer; and a coating disposed over the channel. The coating reduces interactions of analytes from a sample provided at the inlet of the microfluidic contaminant trap with the microfluidic contaminant trap.
    Type: Grant
