  • Patent number: 10605671
    Abstract: To provide a chromatograph data processing device and the like that can estimate and calculate a retention index or a retention time that would be measured by performing programmed-temperature analysis with any desired rate of temperature increase from known retention indices measured by programmed-temperature analysis, a receiving unit that receives a rate of temperature increase, an RI-r relationship storage unit that stores an RI-r relationship, the RI-r relationship being a relationship between a retention index and a rate of temperature increase and being identified based on a plurality of retention indices with respect to different rates of temperature increase and the corresponding rates of temperature increase, and a retention index calculation unit that calculates an estimated retention index based on the RI-r relationship, the estimated retention index being a retention index corresponding to the received rate of temperature increase received by the receiving unit.

  • Patent number: 10371674
    Abstract: In order to, in a chromatograph sampler, regulate the pressure of a sample fluid filled in a constant volume tube to be as constant as possible and ensure the reproducibility of measurement, the chromatograph sampler is configured to provide a bypass line between a sample introduction line and a sample discharge line in parallel with the constant volume tube, and when filling the sample fluid in the constant volume tube, flow the sample fluid also through the bypass line in parallel.

  • Patent number: 10060890
    Abstract: To provide a gas chromatograph allowing a substance led out from a measurement target component to reach a reduction reaction part and capable of preventing occurrence of a quantification error while preventing corrosion and sensitivity deterioration of a metal pipeline due to measurement non-related components such as halogen, sulfur and the like. The gas chromatograph includes: an oxidation reaction part into which a sample gas passed through a column is introduced and which oxidizes the measurement target component and converts the resultant measurement target component to a prescribed intermediate component to be led out therefrom; and an intermediate gas flow path for deriving the intermediate component from the oxidation reaction part, and in this configuration, a reagent to be reacted with measurement non-related components is provided in the intermediate gas flow path, and the reagent contains a metal element to be reacted with only oxygen.
