To reduce an arithmetic processing load or an influence of noise at the time of virtual curve calculation processing, provided is a data processing device for a chromatograph, which is configured to execute data processing based on plot data measured by using a chromatograph, the data processing device including a virtual curve calculation data generator configured to obtain a smaller number of pieces of virtual curve calculation data than a number of pieces of the measured plot data; and an arithmetic processor () functioning as a virtual curve calculator configured to obtain a virtual curve based on the virtual curve calculation data.

Data processing device for chromatograph, data processing method, and chromatograph

A chromatographic data system processing apparatus performs data processing based on plot data measured by a chromatograph. The chromatographic data system processing apparatus includes a virtual curve calculation portion which obtains a virtual curve based on the measured plot data, a tentative feature point acquisition portion which obtains a tentative feature point based on the obtained virtual curve, and an actual plot data feature point extraction portion which extracts an actual plot data feature point corresponding to the tentative feature point from the measured plot data.

An analysis method is achieved in which pressure variation resulting from sample injection or passage switching by an autosampler does not exert an influence on the control of a liquid transfer pump. The liquid chromatograph analysis method comprises the steps of: transferring two or more types of eluents while changing a mixing ratio between the eluents; adjusting an amount of the transferred liquid within a predetermined time in a passage for the eluent transferred; injecting a sample in the passage; supplying to a separation column the eluent into which the sample is injected; separating a target component in the sample; and detecting the target component thus separated. In this method, control is exercised so as to synchronize a liquid transfer cycle of the eluent with the sample injecting operation and to implement the sample injecting operation at a timing rather than the pressure obtaining time.

The present invention provides a liquid delivery device for liquid chromatographs which, by performing liquid delivery at an accurate flow rate with limited pulsation, gives accurate results of analysis. The present invention, with a view to preventing erroneous operation due to errors in measurements at the time of judgment of completion of compression of liquid, establishes the judgment point before the pressure measured by a cylinder pressure detector agrees with the pressure measured by a discharge pressure detector and also calculates the point of completion of compression. Control in this manner prevents pressure fluctuation. It also calculates for control the point of completion of compression from the history of compression performed previously.

There is provided a system for supporting the assessment as to which disease group the subject to be examined falls in or what position in the whole disease group the subject is in. This support system comprises the data storage part which stores feature values of optical bio-measurement data of many subjects including patients in multiple disease groups, the analysis part which extracts plural kinds of feature values from the optical bio-measurement data and the display part which displays the results of analysis in the analysis part associated with the dictionary data, wherein the display part produces a scatter diagram on which features values of the dictionary data are plotted, with one of the two feature values being plotted along the axis of abscissa and the other along the axis of ordinate, and displays the positions of the subject to be assessed on the scatter diagram superimposed on the scatter diagram. With this scatter diagram, the relationship between the features of the subject and the feature of the disease group can be known in one glance.

An object of the present invention is to improve the accuracy in analysis repeatability of a liquid chromatography apparatus that feeds different eluent by use of a plurality of pumps and achieves the mixture of eluent. Each of the pumps includes means for notifying an automatic sampler and a higher-level control unit that the specified timing of a liquid feeding cycle is reached. A pump whose liquid feeding cycle is the slowest transmits own information so that analysis is synchronized with a liquid feeding cycle. Moreover, a cycle position of a liquid feeding cycle at the end of analysis is expected, and the analysis time is automatically adjusted so that the wait time until the start of the next analysis becomes the shortest.

Provided is a liquid chromatograph system and method configured to accurately obtain measurements by minimizing deviations in measurements due to a transfer from one measurement method to another measurement method. An aspect of the system and method includes minimizing deviations in measurements when a measurement method from a measurement system of a liquid chromatograph is transferred to measurement system under high pressure and high velocity. Such a transfer includes deviations due to differences in analysis conditions. The present subject matter uses a dwell volume value so as to minimize a deviation of measurement result due to methods before and after transfer. Another aspect includes calculating a correction value when there is a deviation in the measurement result, and automatically reflecting the correction value for the method transfer.
