The manifold, block or plate can have a plurality of ports either integral thereto or removably connected thereto, with the ports adapted to receive and sealingly engage with a tube having an inner tube layer, an outer tube layer, a sleeve, a tip portion, and a nut. Each of the nut, sleeve, inner and outer tubing layers, and tip portion have a passageway therethrough, with at least the passageways in the sleeve, tip portion, outer tube layer, and nut adapted to allow the inner tube layer to pass therethrough or extend over the inner layer. The ends of the tip portion and inner layer together can define a substantially flat surface which can form a seal in a flat-bottomed port of the manifold, block, or plate, which can be used in a component in an analytical instrument system, including for example a liquid chromatography system.

  • Patent number: 9700816
    Abstract: An elongated fluid degassing apparatus may be employed as a fluid transfer line for fluidly connecting components in a liquid system, while at the same time degassing, or preventing re-gassing of, the fluid. The fluid transfer line degassing apparatus forms a shell and tube degassing arrangement, wherein shell-side fluid flow is facilitated by one or more spacer elements that centrally position a semi-permeable separation membrane in the shell chamber. The degasser may include one or more tubular separation membranes that provide a gas-permeable, liquid-impermeable contact surface to effect the gas-liquid separation of the process fluid.

The tag includes an attaching terminal that comprises an attaching element, a RFID responder, a magnetic element. The tag further includes a fixing end and a flexible connection element. The locator includes an attached element, a RFID reader, a hall switch, a multiplexer and a microprocessor. When a distance between the attaching terminal and the attached element reaches a preset distance, the magnetic element triggers the hall switch to send a trigger signal to the microprocessor. Based on the trigger signal the microprocessor turns on the RFID reader and controls the multiplexer to be connected to the corresponding RFID antenna to read the information. By using the device above, a real time monitoring and an automatic location are realized and the monitoring and the location can be accurate to every unit on the rack.
