Abstract
A system and method for separating the functions of a liquid chromatography (LC) system into physically separate systems that allow for a more versatile LC system, wherein an LC device provides columna liquid solvent, a sample, and a pump and injector that pushes the sample in the solvent to an output port, and providing an attachable module containing a module input port, a column, a heater for the column, and at least one detector for on-column detection, then attaching the module to the LC device using a press-fit connection that enables the sample in the solvent to be pumped through the column to the at least one detector in order to separate, identify and quantify substances in the sample and transmit results from the at least one detector to the LC system for collection and analysis.
