  • Patent number: 7259840
    Abstract: A fluid analysis apparatus for containing and analyzing a fluid sample includes a cell body assembly having a plurality of distinct portions in fluid communication with one another and with the distinct portions being hydraulically sealed to one another through the use of one or more resilient gaskets interposed between adjacent ones of the plurality of distinct portions of the cell body assembly. The one or more resilient gaskets enable both hydraulic sealing of adjacent distinct portions, as well as fluid coupling and routing through the fluid analysis apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7144443
    Abstract: An elongated flow-through degassing apparatus includes an elongated gas and liquid impermeable outer tube and one or more gas-permeable, liquid-impermeable elongated inner tubes extending within the outer tube and at least partially through a chamber defined within the outer tube. The apparatus also includes inlet and outlet connection structures operably coupled to respective portions of the outer tube and the inner tubes to further enable a sealed engagement between the outer tube and the inner tubes, and to provide for connection devices to operably couple the degassing apparatus of the present invention to respective spaced apart components. The degassing apparatus is sufficiently flexible so as to be readily manipulatable into desired configurations.

  • Patent number: 6923908
    Abstract: A filter apparatus for use in liquid chromatography systems includes a housing component having an open channel formed therethrough for operably receiving fluid transfer tubing in at least a first end thereof, a relatively thin mesh filter component, and a securement component configured to matingly engage with the housing such that the filter component is operably disposed and secured between the housing and the securement component adjacent to and superimposed over a second open end of the channel. The filter apparatus is thus adapted to operably filter chromatographic fluids being drawn through the channels from the second open end and into the fluid transfer tubing.
