    Abstract: A freeze-thaw valve is provided using a Peltier heat pump where the thermal short-circuit path between a cooled thermal mass and a heated thermal mass is reduced or absent and the valve state transition time is minimized. The freeze-thaw valve comprises a Peltier heat pump mounted to a heat exchange surface that comprises a cross-drilled copper water jacket or manifold. The Peltier heat pump is operated to maintain a cooled thermal mass at a substantially constant low temperature. A resistance heating element is used to produce a heated thermal mass. The freeze-thaw segment of a fluid conduit is commutated to contact either the heated or the cooled thermal mass to thaw and therefore open the valve or cool and thus close the valve. The operation of the Peltier heat pump at a constant temperature avoids problems inherent in the use of a Peltier heat pump to both heat and cool a freeze thaw segment.

    Abstract: A modular flow cell having a high optical throughput, a long optical path length and a small cross-section. The modular flow cell configuration includes remote ports or connections for liquid and light input, and liquid and light output. The flow cell includes a flow cell body having two ends, each with a respective end interface secured thereto. The flow cell is configured to formn a part of a modular flow cell assembly. The flow cell body includes a channel having a through-aperture with an inner surface. A light guiding material, e.g. a transparent fluoropolymer material having a refractive index less than the refractive index of common chromatography solvents, is disposed proximate to the channel to form a light guiding through-aperture in the flow cell body. The channel is formed of materials that can provide the necessary mechanical strength and a fluid seal, and more particularly, includes materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which can develop a fluid seal at the interface between the flow cell body end and each end interface.

    Abstract: High pressure capillary liquid chromatography solvent delivery is effected at substantially low volume and atmospheric pressure. The low volume solvent composition is subsequently pressurized and expelled at high pressure into a receiving device such as a column. The solvent composition is expelled from a fluid metering system configured to deliver liquids at low pressures to a storage matrix via an isolation valve. The solvent composition is delivered to the storage matrix in reverse order such that the first volume of liquid delivered into the storage matrix is the last volume of liquid expelled out. Liquid pre-existing within the storage matrix is transferred into a fluid accumulator in fluid communication with the storage matrix. The fluid accumulator is enveloped in a pressure caisson which can be pressurized or depressurized in response to sensor signals obtained from a fluid volume displacement transducer and a pressure sensor, in accordance with solvent composition cycle formation. As the caisson is pressurized, the pressure acting on the fluid accumulator causes the solvent composition within the storage matrix to be expelled out past the isolation valve into a chromatographic column.
