  • Liquid chromatography thermal system with thermal status detection
    Patent number: 11555804
    Abstract: A liquid chromatography system including a solvent delivery system, a sample delivery system in fluidic communication with solvent delivery system, a liquid chromatography column located downstream from the solvent delivery system and the sample delivery system, a detector located downstream from the liquid chromatography column, a thermal chamber housing at least one of the solvent delivery system, the sample delivery system, the liquid chromatography column and the detector, an engine configured to control the temperature in the thermal chamber, a heatsink operably connected to the engine, a first temperature sensor in the thermal chamber, a second temperature sensor, and a computer system configured to receive temperature information from each of the first and second temperature sensors, and implement a method for controlling temperature in the thermal chamber.
