    Abstract: A microfluidic device, for use in separation systems, includes a substrate having a fluidic channel. One or more heaters made of a thick film material are integrated with the substrate and in thermal communication with the fluidic channel of the substrate. The one or more heaters produce a thermal gradient within the fluidic channel in response to a current flowing through the one or more heaters. A plurality of electrically conductive taps can be in electrically conductive contact with the one or more heaters. The plurality of electrically conductive taps provides an electrically conductive path to the one or more heaters by which an electrical supply can produce the current flowing through the one or more heaters. Alternatively, the thick film material can be ferromagnetic, and the electrical supply can use induction to cause the current to flow through the one or more heaters.

    Abstract: A check valve includes a first valve body having a chamber in which second and third valve bodies are located. The check valve also includes a spring-energized seal disposed in the chamber. The spring-energized seal includes a compliant seal body having an annular shape and a resilient member, such as a cantered spring or O-ring, disposed in a pocket of the seal body. The resilient member applies a force to portions of the seal body to prevent the passage of fluid from a valve inlet port to a valve outlet port unless the differential fluid exceeds the cracking pressure of the check valve.

    Abstract: A method of analyzing samples includes loading a sufficient quantity of the sample onto a trap column to overload the trap column; heating an analytical column and the trap column to a greater temperature than the analytical column; and pumping a solvent, to the trap column, having a solvent composition profile that, in cooperation with a temperature differential, causes at least some of the components to elute sequentially from the trap column to the analytical column and focus on the analytical column prior to eluting from the analytical column; or optionally: loading a small-molecule sample onto a cooled portion of an analytical column; heating the analytical column; and pumping a solvent, to the heated analytical column, to elute the components from the analytical column. Chromatographic separation includes: a trap column; a separation column; a trap-column heater; a separation-column heater; a solvent pump unit; and a control unit can be used.

    Abstract: The invention feature devices and methods for preserving and processing samples comprising a fluid having deuterated compounds. The device of the present invention comprises a housing defining a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber is heated to an elevated temperature and receives the sample and performs a digestion process on the sample at the elevated temperature. The second chamber is cooled to a low temperature and receives the deuterated digested sample from the first chamber and performs one or more separation steps to isolate an analyte. The device of further comprises conduit means for containing and moving the sample into the first chamber to form a digested sample. The conduit means moves the digested sample from the first chamber to the second chamber to separate the sample to form at least one analyte. The analyte is maintained at the low temperature to preserve its deuterated form.
