  • Functionalized metal oxides as a stationary phase and a surface template for micro gas chromatography separation columns
    Patent number: 10852278
    Abstract: The present invention provides a detector and method for detecting substances in complex mixtures. The detector includes a microfabricated preconcentrator, a separation column with an on-chip thermal conductivity detector, a controller for controlling flow and thermal management and a user interface. The thermal conductivity detector includes a first resistor located at an inlet of the separation column and a second resistor located at an outlet of the separation column.
    Type: Grant
