  • Patent number: 11835497
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10859543
    Abstract: Provided is a system comprising a conduit from a gas chromatograph column to a single reactor comprising a Fe, Co, Pt, Ni, Rh, Pd and/or Ru catalyst(s), with hydrogen and oxygen feed conduits for providing hydrogen and oxygen to the reactor, and a conduit from the reactor to an FID detector. This allows one to practice a method for the detection and quantification of organic molecules from a gas chromatograph which comprises passing the effluent from a gas chromatograph column to a reactor comprising a Fe, Co, Pt, Ni, Rh, Pd and/or Ru catalyst; adding hydrogen and air/oxygen to the reactor; reacting the effluent from the gas chromatograph column in the reactor to sequentially oxidize then reduce all organic containing molecules to CH4 by heating to an elevated temperature, and passing the reactor effluent to an FID.

  • Patent number: 10416129
    Abstract: Provided is a system comprising a device that performs one or more reactions to liquid or supercritical fluid chromatograph effluents and produces molecules that are subsequently detected by a suitable detector. This allows for one to practice a method for the detection and quantification of organic molecules from a liquid chromatograph for the purpose of increasing detection limits and allowing for the universal detection of organic molecules. The linear dynamic range and molecular response are greater than those previously available.
