Publication number: 20220187255Abstract: The state between a liquid sending pump and an analysis flow path is switched between a connection state and a disconnection state. In the connection state, a sample is injected into the analysis flow path, and a scheduled analysis is executed. When a variation range of a liquid sending pressure applied by the liquid sending pump exceeds a threshold value, a liquid sending failure is detected. In a case where a liquid sending failure is detected, the sample analysis in execution is interrupted, and the state between the liquid sending pump and the analysis flow path is put in the disconnection state. Further, a purge operation is executed. After the purge operation ends, a confirming operation of confirming whether a liquid sending failure is detected is executed. When a liquid sending failure is not detected, a non-injection analysis in which a mobile phase is sent into the analysis flow path by the liquid sending pump under a condition that enables removal of a sample in the analysis flow path is executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2019Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Hiroshi OHASHI, Takayuki KIHARA, Hiroshi MIURA
