Compound Sample Needle For Liquid Chromatograph

View page
US Patent:
20120328486, Dec 27, 2012
Filed:
Jan 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/519687
Inventors:
John Auclair - Seekonk MA, US
James E. Usowicz - Webster MA, US
Tony A. Lin - Ashland MA, US
Marc Lemelin - Douglas MA, US
Robert A. Jencks - Mendon MA, US
Kenneth R. Plant - Leominster MA, US
Assignee:
WATERS TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Milford MA
International Classification:
G01N 1/10
US Classification:
422501
Abstract:
Described is a compound sample needle for a liquid chromatography system. In one embodiment, the compound sample needle includes a rigid needle having a coupling end with a face and a counterbore. The compound sample needle also includes a flexible tubing having an outer surface and a coupling end disposed in the counterbore of the rigid needle. The coupling end of the flexible tubing has a face adjacent to a base of the counterbore. The coupling ends of the rigid needle and flexible tubing are secured to each other by a weld formed along a circumference of the outer surface and the face of the rigid needle. A rigid sleeve protects the welded joint. The compound sample needle is suitable for injection into the high pressure mobile phase of ultra performance liquid chromatography systems.

Sample Handling Mechanism

View page
US Patent:
60714778, Jun 6, 2000
Filed:
Sep 18, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/932720
Inventors:
John M. Auclair - Seekonk MA
Joseph D. Antocci - Leominster MA
Assignee:
Waters Investments Limited
International Classification:
G01N 3504
US Classification:
422 64
Abstract:
A sample handling mechanism including a direct drive carrier for positioning multiple trays or carousels of sample vials and a direct drive carousel handling mechanism that eliminates pulleys and belts and the problems associated therewith. The carousels handled by the sample handling mechanism are individually identifiable, stackable and include a viewing area for identifying and viewing the individual sample vials grouped in a respective carousel. The sample handling mechanism consists of two logical drive modules. A single center line or axis of rotation is effected in each of the drive modules. The two logical drive modules include a carrier mechanism that transports a plurality of sample carousels to a sampling station, and a carousel drive mechanism which engages a single carousel and presents the appropriate vial to be sampled. The carrier mechanism includes a multi-position spoke-like carrier portion that is driven by a single drive shaft coupled to a gear reduction stepper motor by a coupling. The carousel drive mechanism includes a linear actuator portion and a rotary actuator portion on a common center line or axis.

US Patent:
20200025722, Jan 23, 2020
Filed:
Jul 16, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/512559
Inventors:
- Milford MA, US
Joshua A. Burnett - Taunton MA, US
John M. Auclair - Seekonk MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 30/18
Abstract:
A twist-lock compliant needle including a housing component surrounding a needle holder holding a rigidly mounted needle, the housing component including a biasing element disposed therein, wherein the biasing element compresses as a needle tip of the needle contacts a surface is provided. An associated method is also provided.

Online Dilution For A Liquid Chromatography System Using A Sample Metering Pump

View page
US Patent:
20180364203, Dec 20, 2018
Filed:
Jun 13, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/007299
Inventors:
- Milford MA, US
John M. Auclair - Seekonk MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 30/20
Abstract:
An apparatus for diluting a sample in a liquid chromatography system includes a metering pump, a sample needle and a sample valve. One of the sample valve ports is in fluid communication with the first pump port, a second one of the sample valve ports is in fluid communication with the second pump port, and a third one of the sample valve ports is in fluid communication with the sample needle. The sample valve can be configured in a first to conduct a solvent to the first pump port and to fluidically terminate the second pump port, and in a second state in which the sample needle is in fluid communication with the second pump port. A merge valve configurable in different states is in fluid communication with the sample valve. The states of the sample valve and merge valve can be controlled to perform online dilution.

Back Pressure Regulation

US Patent:
20150027567, Jan 29, 2015
Filed:
Mar 4, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/382602
Inventors:
- Milford MA, US
John M. Auclair - Seekonk MA, US
Paul Keenan - Harrisville RI, US
Edwin Denecke - North Attleboro MA, US
Gerald Wisser - Gibsonia PA, US
Edward Bates - Natrona Heights PA, US
Eugene Berthiaume - Cumberland RI, US
Michael Bower - Hopkinton MA, US
Assignee:
Waters Technologies Corporation - Milford MA
International Classification:
F16K 1/52
F16K 15/06
F16K 25/04
US Classification:
137528
Abstract:
The invention generally provides a dynamic back pressure regulator. In exemplary embodiments, the back pressure regulator includes an inlet, an outlet, a seat disposed between the inlet and the outlet and defining at least part of a fluid pathway, and a needle displaceable relative to the seat to form a restriction region therebetween for restricting fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet. In some embodiments, the needle can be formed of a chemically resistant ceramic or have a metal plating to provide corrosion and/or erosion resistance.
