  • Publication number: 20220107293
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210389287
    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).
