  • Publication number: 20240044847
    Abstract: Provided is a preparative liquid chromatograph capable of coping with a case where actual second delay time changes after start of a fractionation sequence. When a specific component detected as a peak in both a first detector and a second detector is injected during execution of a fractionation sequence, a control device executes maintenance operation of time difference information stored in an information storage area. In the maintenance operation, the control device executes peak determination as to whether or not a difference between first retention time and second retention time falls within a predetermined allowable range. By the above, the control device checks whether or not the second delay time from when a component is detected by the second detector to when the component reaches a fraction collector changes from a previous state.

  • Publication number: 20220128520
    Abstract: In a sucking operation, predetermined amount of a sample is sucked by using a needle from a sample container in which the sample to be analyzed is contained. A sensor circuit, which is electrically conducted to the needle, outputs different levels of signals when a tip of the needle is in contact with liquid and when the tip of the needle is not in contact with liquid. A liquid-contacting detector detects whether the tip of the needle is in air or in liquid by comparing a sensor signal value obtained from a signal output from the sensor circuit during the sucking operation with a preset threshold value. An empty container determiner determines that the sample container is empty when the liquid-contacting determiner detects a change during the sucking operation that the tip of the needle is changed from being in liquid to being in air.
