  • Patent number: 12078620
    Abstract: An analysis apparatus capable of adjusting holding time of each stream in a plurality of HPLC streams without adjusting a pipe length, and capable of determining degradation of a separation column, a liquid-delivery failure, or the like without removing a pipe from the apparatus is implemented. Air is suctioned from the shipper 109 and injected into the verification flow paths 122 and 123, and holding time when a baseline of the detector 125 changes is stored in the control unit 130. The air in the verification flow paths 122 and 123 of the stream 101 and the stream 102 is measured, and holding time of the stream 101 and holding time of the stream 102 are compared to determine whether or not there is a difference of 1 second or more in the holding time. When the difference in holding time is 1 second or more, correction is performed.

  • Patent number: 11982655
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to realize an analysis apparatus having a plurality of liquid chromatographs capable of judging separation performance and the like at the right timing and improving analysis performance early. Analysis starts and a mixed sample is prepared by adding a non-retaining ingredient to a measurement object sample and is introduced into an analysis flow path (S401 to S404). The mixed sample is separated into components by a separation column, the components are outputted as chromatogram data by a detector, and the analysis finishes (S404 to S406). Retention time and peak information are acquired from the chromatogram outputted from the detector, whether or not a measurement result is within an allowable range is judged, and the process shifts to next analysis when the measurement result is within the allowable range (S407 to S409).

  • Publication number: 20240019407
    Abstract: A method of controlling a liquid chromatograph that estimates the maximum value of the pressure reached during measurement before actually measuring a sample. The method includes a pump having a gradient function that feeds liquid while changing the composition of a plurality of eluents, according to gradient liquid feeding conditions, a sample filling unit for filling a sample, a separation column, an analysis flow channel connecting the pump to the separation column, and a pressure sensor which detects a pressure within the analysis flow channel during liquid feeding by the pump. A maximum pressure presumed during measurement is calculated based on an initial pressure as a pressure within the analysis flow channel when the pump starts feeding liquid and the gradient liquid feeding conditions and that when the maximum pressure presumed is determined to be a predetermined upper pressure limit, the sample filling is not performed.
