A separating column () for hippuric acid analysis is filled with a filler in which 123 μmol/g or more of β-cyclodextrin is chemically bonded to a silica matrix. By using such a filler for the separating column () in which 123 μmol/g or more of β-cyclodextrin is chemically bonded to the silica matrix, hippuric acid, o-methyl hippuric acid, m-methyl hippuric acid, p-methyl hippuric acid, and mandelic acid can be separated without using a mobile phase containing cyclodextrin.

Separating column for separating hippuric acid and mandelic acid, liquid chromatograph for separating hippuric acid and mandelic acid, and method for analyzing hippuric acid and mandelic acid

A liquid delivery device includes a liquid delivery pump that sucks a mobile phase, which is liquid, from a mobile phase container containing the mobile phase through a suction pipe whose end is immersed in the mobile phase in the mobile phase container, and feeds the mobile phase, and at least one dissolved substance removal filter that is provided at a position upstream of the liquid delivery pump on a path through which the mobile phase flows and is filled with a filler having the property of adsorbing a dissolved substance in the mobile phase.

Liquid delivery device and liquid chromatograph

The present invention aims at reducing the time required for a series of analyses in the sequential performance of gradient analyses under a variety of conditions. To this end, in a control apparatus for controlling the operation of a liquid chromatograph having a gradient analysis function in which a mobile phase composed of a plurality of mixed solvents is used and a chromatograph analysis is performed while the mixture ratio of the solvents is temporally changed, the liquid chromatograph is controlled so as to continuously change the mixture ratio of the solvents from an initial mixture ratio to a final mixture ratio when performing a sample analysis; and as to perform, before the sample analysis, a preparatory liquid supply in which the mixture ratio of the solvents is continuously changed from the initial mixture ratio to the final mixture ratio at a rate higher than that in the sample analysis.

Control system and program for liquid chromatograph

A liquid chromatograph control system for controlling an operation of a liquid chromatograph which uses a mobile phase composed of a mixture of solvents and which has the function of performing a gradient analysis while temporally changing the mixture ratio of the solvents. The system initially requests a user to set a basic gradient profile (Step S), and subsequently, to set the number of steps to change the mixture ratio of the mobile phase at the beginning and/or at the end of the gradient process as well as the amount of change in the mixture ratio per step (Step S). After that, based on the possible combinations of the mixture ratios of the mobile phase at the beginning and at the end of the gradient process computed from the contents of information entered in the previous steps, a plurality of gradient profiles corresponding to those combinations are created (Step S).
