    Abstract: A preparative liquid chromatograph including an analysis channel (2), an injector (6), a separation column (8), a detector (10), a plurality of fraction collectors (14-1 to 14-n), a switching valve (12) that switches fraction collectors (14-1 to 14-n) to be connected to the outlet of the detector (10) among the plurality of fraction collectors (14-1 to 14-n), and a controller (16) for controlling operations of the plurality of fraction collectors (14-1 to 14-n) and the switching valve (12). In a case where the number of remaining unused collection containers of the fraction collector in use, which is connected to the outlet of the detector, falls below the number of buffers which is an integer of two or more, the controller (16) is configured to switch the switching valve (12) while the fraction collector in use is not performing a peak collection operation.

  • Publication number: 20240068422
    Abstract: An upstream integrated value is an integrated value of a difference obtained by subtracting an upstream gas temperature at a starting point in time of integration from the upstream gas temperature after starting of the internal combustion engine. A downstream integrated value is an integrated value of a difference obtained by subtracting a downstream gas temperature at the starting point in time of the integration from the downstream gas temperature after the starting of the internal combustion engine. An anomaly diagnosing process obtains an anomaly determination result indicating that the exhaust purification device is in a removed state when a deviation between the upstream integrated value and the downstream integrated value is smaller than a reference level. The determination threshold is higher than a dew point.

  • 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: 20220383233
    Abstract: A work support system gives work support by using a work schedule which is created by dividing support target work into a plurality of division tasks and distributing a worker unit. The present system includes an interruption information acquisition part for acquiring interruption information, and a work schedule modification part for modifying the work schedule if the interruption information is acquired. The work schedule is modified by redistributing, to the division task started after the interruption event, the remaining worker unit excluding the worker unit distributed to the division task in which the interruption event occurs.

  • Patent number: 11103806
    Abstract: In a preparative separation-purification system for passing a solution containing a target component through a trap column 21 to capture the target component in the column 21, and for subsequently passing an eluting solvent through the column 21 to elute the captured component and collect it in a container, an outlet aperture 27 of the column 21 has a tapered shape whose sectional area is largest on a plane facing an inner space of the column 21 and decreases in the flowing direction of the liquid. A filter 26 for preventing deposition of the target component is also provided at the boundary between the inner space of the column 21 and a passage for discharging liquid from the inner space. By this configuration, clogging of the passage at the outlet end of the column 21 due to deposition of the target component is prevented.
