Pressure-drop restriction, capillary

The problems associated with coupling packed columns to a mass spectrometer are s re severe than those encountered with capillary columns. Conventional pacdced columns are operated at much higher flow rates, 20 to 60 al/ain, and although this diminishes the influence of dead volumes in the interface on sample resolution, it poses a problem due to the pressure and volume flow rate restrictions of the mass spectrometer. The interface must provide a pressure drop between column and mass spectrometer source on the order of 10 to 10, it must reduce the volumetric flow of gas into the mass spectrometer without diminishing the mass flow of sample by the same amount, and it must retain the integrity of the sample eluting from the column in terms of the separation obtained and its chemical constitution [3,25,26]. To meet the above requirements the interface must function as a molecular separator. [Pg.487]

Kitamori s group has proposed selective chemical surface modification utilizing capillarity (called the capillarity restricted modification or CARM method) (Hibara et al., 2005). In the CARM method, a microchannel structure combining shallow and deep microchannels and the principle of capillarity are utilized. The procedures are shown in Figure 19. A portion of an ODS/toluene solution (lwt%) is dropped onto the inlet hole of the shallow channel, and the solution is spontaneously drawn into this channel by capillary action. The solution is stopped at the boundary between the shallow and deep channels by the balance between the solid-liquid and gas-liquid interfacial energies. Therefore, the solution does not enter the deep channel. It remains at the boundary for several minutes and is then pushed from the deep channel side by air pressure. [Pg.27]
