Disclosed is a station, for testing an analyte in a sample, enabling accurate and quick reaction and analysis of the sample and a reagent in one apparatus. To this end, the present disclosure provides a station, which is for testing a sample by means of inserting a cuvette, having a standby chamber on which a collecting member is placed, a sample chamber, a reagent chamber and a detection unit. The station comprises: a housing which has an input/output part into which a cuvette is inserted; a driving unit which is provided inside the housing, horizontally moves the cuvette, vertically moves a collecting member, reacts a sample in a sample chamber and a reagent in a reagent chamber, and injects a reaction result thereof into a detection unit; and an optical reader which is provided on the horizontal movement path of the cuvette and is for analyzing the reaction result.

The present invention relates to a method for simultaneously qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing compounds of aldehydes and/or ketones in a short time by using an optimal TLC plate, a proportion of a developing solvent, a sample amount, etc., and can provide an analysis result equivalent to a conventional analysis result in a shorter time by providing the most optimal conditions when using the TLC method.

The invention generally relates to ion generation using modified wetted porous materials. In certain aspects, the invention generally relates to systems and methods for ion generation using a wetted porous substrate that substantially prevents diffusion of sample into the substrate. In other aspects, the invention generally relate to ion generation using a wetted porous material and a drying agent. In other aspects, the invention generally relates to ion generation using a modified wetted porous substrate in which at least a portion of the porous substrate includes a material that modifies an interaction between a sample and the substrate.

A method is provided for preparing a sample of a specimen to be analysed from a thin-layer plate in thin-layer chromatography. The sample is removed from a surface of the thin-layer plate by means of a blade disposed at a receiving opening of a cannula and fed through the cannula to a specimen chamber connected to the cannula. A reduced pressure can be generated in the specimen chamber to suck the sample removed from the thin-layer plate by means of the cannula through the receiving opening into and through the cannula and into the specimen chamber. After removal and feed of the sample, the specimen chamber can be filled with a solvent to dissolve the sample. The cannula with the blade can be deflected against a spring force or the blade can be deflected against a spring force relative to the receiving opening of the cannula at the receiving opening of the cannula to prevent the blade from penetrating into the thin-layer plate with an excessive contact pressure during the removal of the sample from the thin-layer plate.

To provide a preparative thin layer chromatography method capable of acquiring a target spot efficiently using a simple and convenient method without the possibility of decomposition of a component in a spot. The preparative thin layer chromatography method is a preparative method for dispensing a spot from a thin layer chromatography plate and includes a process 1 that forms a groove by removing the carrier at the circumferential edge of a spot to be dispensed, a process 2 that inserts a nozzle having a packing part at the tip thereof into the groove formed in the process 1, a process 3 that discharges a solvent through the nozzle, and a process 4 that sucks the solvent in which a spot component has been dissolved.
