Publication number: 20240201142Abstract: A liquid chromatography sample manager includes a thermal chamber, a sample platter mounted in the thermal chamber, and a needle drive including a base having a shaft configured to rotate about a vertical axis, the base attachable to an interior of a sample manager of a liquid chromatography system. The needle drive further includes a needle assembly attached to the base, the needle assembly including a sample needle, and a drive system attached to the base, the drive system including a sample needle motor configured to impart vertical movement of the sample needle. The liquid chromatography sample manager further includes a sample delivery system configured to transfer a first sample from a first sample vial carrier located in the sample platter into a chromatographic flow stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2024Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Joshua A.

Publication number: 20240060939Abstract: A method and a fluidic network for acquiring and injecting a chromatographic sample into a chromatography system flow include a metering pump module, a sample needle, a needle seal and an injection valve. The metering pump module includes a metering pump and a pressure transducer in serial fluidic communication. When the injection valve is in a first valve state, the injection valve is configured to fluidically terminate ports of the metering pump module. When the injection valve is in a second valve state, the injection valve is configured to fluidically couple a fluidic path that includes the metering pump module and sample needle into the system flow of a chromatography system without resulting in a substantial change in the pressure of the system flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Joshua A. Burnett, Rose Solow, David A. Simpson

Patent number: 11774415Abstract: Described is a metering pump that may be used to meter volumes of sample in a chromatography system. The metering pump has a modular configuration that allows for separation of a head pod from a drive assembly for easy serviceability. The head pod includes a pump head, cartridge housing, seal wash housing and plunger. The drive assembly can be implemented in an inline drive configuration. Alternatively, the drive assembly can be implemented in an offset drive configuration in which a stepper motor is displaced laterally from other drive assembly components but is coupled through a belt and pulley system.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: WATERS TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Joshua A. Burnett, Rose Solow, David A. Simpson, Peter Osswald, John M. Auclair, Michael LeBeau
