A device is provided. The device comprises a casing comprising an interior, a first opening, and a second opening; and a porous carrier comprising a sample-receiving zone and a target analyte-binding zone. The porous carrier defines a first fluid pathway that extends from the sample-receiving zone to the target analyte-binding zone. At least portion of the porous carrier is disposed in the interior of the casing. A second fluid pathway comprising a central axis extends through the casing from the first opening and the second opening, the second fluid pathway intersecting the porous carrier at the target analyte-binding zone. The central axis is oriented orthogonally with respect to the porous carrier. Methods of using the device to detect a target analyte are also provided.

A multi-capillary column pre-concentration trap for use in various chromatography techniques (e.g., gas chromatography (GC) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS)) is disclosed. In some examples, the trap can include a plurality of capillary columns connected in series in order of increasing strength (i.e., increasing chemical affinity for one or more sample compounds). A sample can enter the trap, flowing from a sample vial to a relatively weak column to the relatively strongest column of the trap by way of any additional columns included in the trap, for example. In some examples, the trap can be heated and backflushed so that the sample exits the trap through the head of the relatively weak column. Next, the sample can be injected into a chemical analysis device for performing the chromatography technique (e.g., GC or GCMS) or it can be injected into a secondary multi-capillary column trap for further concentration.

A system for analyzing a gas mixture is provided. The system includes an enclosure inlet. A moisture trap assembly is coupled to the enclosure inlet. The moisture trap assembly removes excess moisture from a sample at the enclosure inlet. A testing section is coupled to the moisture trap assembly for detecting one or more compounds from the sample.

A solvent reservoir filter for a liquid chromatograph system includes a first screen extending in a first plane, the first screen configured to filter solvent received through the first screen, a second screen extending in a second plane that is parallel to the first plane, the second screen configured to filter solvent received through the second screen, a main body extending between and connecting the first screen and the second screen, and a fluid outlet configured to expel solvent filtered by the first and second screens from the solvent reservoir filter. Methods of use and assembly of the solvent reservoir filter for a liquid chromatograph system are further disclosed.

Provided is a preparative separation liquid chromatograph system and preparative separation condition searching method which allows for an easy setting of the preparative separation condition. A sample temporally separated into components by a separation column is introduced into a detector and a fraction collector, with each component fractionated and collected by the fraction collector based on the result of a detection by the detector. A controlling and processing unit holds the following data for each sample or compound in the form of a database: chromatogram data obtained when a liquid chromatograph analysis in a preparative separation condition searching mode is performed for various standard samples under a search condition; and chromatogram data obtained when a liquid chromatograph analysis in a preparative separation mode is performed under one or more sets of preparative separation conditions for the various standard samples, along with the preparative separation condition used in this analysis.
