  • Publication number: 20080044309
    Abstract: A liquid chromatograph, comprising a first analysis column, which separates a component in a sample guided by a first mobile phase; first detection device for detection of the component; a fractionation flow path, which fractionates and holds in an isolation portion the component detected by the first detection device; a trap flow path, which sends the component held in the isolation portion into a trap column, and causes capture and concentration of the component in the trap column; a second analysis column, which separates the component which has been captured and concentrated in the trap column and is eluted from the trap column by a second mobile phase; and second detection device for detection of the component separated in the second analysis column, wherein the first and second detection devices have a detector selected from a group consisting of a photodiode array detector, an infrared detector, a radioisotope detector, and a fluorescence detector.
