Techniques and apparatus for thermally controlled interfaces for separation devices and optical flow cell devices with minimized post-column volumes are described. In one embodiment, for example, a column-optical cell assembly may include an insulating device, a chromatography column arranged within the insulating device, and an optical flow cell in fluid communication with the chromatography column, the chromatography column arranged within a minimum distance of the optical flow cell.

Techniques for temperature control of separation devices and optical detection devices of mass analysis systems

Exemplary embodiments are directed to methods and systems for controlling fluid parameters within a detector. A first and second fluid pump manager control the flow of a first and second fluid to one or more heating/cooling devices, and a mixer receives and mixes the first and second fluids. An optical detector flow cell receives the fluid mixture from the mixer, and a pressure regulator controls the pressure at the optical detector flow cell. Thus, the composition, temperature, and pressure of a fluid mixture entering an optical detector flow cell can be controlled in real time.
