A flame photometric detector comprises a burner assembly configured to combust a sample of an effluent, the combusted sample emitting at least one excited molecule, an interchangeable selective optical filter configured to pass a plurality of selected optical wavelengths corresponding to the excited molecule, and a photomultiplier tube configured to quantify the concentration of the excited molecule.

Flame photometric detector having improved sensitivity

A method and apparatus for non-liquid solvent introduction of analyte into an analytical instrument and, more particularly, to a bonded liquid phase analyte trap with integral flow switching that may include a rapid solid-state heating and cooling device. The analyte trap includes a first wafer having a flow channel formed on its bottom side such that a second wafer attached to the bottom side of the first wafer encloses the flow channel and a stationary phase coating is chemically bonded to the walls of the flow channel to provide a mechanism for trapping analytes of interest.

Micromachined analyte trap for gas phase streams

Chromatographic system includes a split/splitless injection port operatively connected to an inlet line for receiving the regulated carrier gas flow, a separation column for receiving at least a portion of the mixture as a column flow, and a split vent line and a septum purge line for outputting respectively a split flow and a septum purge flow. A forward device driver operatively connected to a respective fluid controller controls fluid flow in the inlet line and a back device driver operatively connected to a respective fluid controller controls fluid pressure in the split line. A setpoint controller provides first and second setpoint control output values to a configuration module, which selectably configures the provision of each of the first and second setpoint control output values to a selected one of the forward and back device drivers according to the selection of a split or splitless injection mode.
