Abstract

Reduced column loading of a sample onto a chromatographic column may be mitigated by excluding diffuse portions of the sample from introduction to the column. Systems and methods are provided for detecting and removing the diffuse portions from the feed solution delivered to the chromatography column. The systems and methods herein permit use of a single detector to detect and remove the diffuse portions and can accommodate a recovery/collection/recycling mechanism permitting reuse of removed sample from the diverted diffuse portions.
