Abstract
Provided is an analyzer column cartridge that can control the temperature of an analysis column while saving resources and costs. An analyzer column cartridge 1 includes: metal blocks 7, 8 that accommodate an analysis column 10 used in a liquid chromatography; and housings 2, 3 that accommodate the metal blocks 7, 8. A plurality of holes 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, and 11E that communicate with an accommodation space of the analysis column 10 are formed in the metal block 8. The housing has a plurality of windows 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D, and 6E formed at positions facing the plurality of holes 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, and 11E formed in the metal block 8.
Claims7
An analyzer column cartridge, comprising:
- a metal block configured to accommodate an analysis column used in a liquid chromatography;
- and
- a housing that accommodates the metal block, wherein
- a plurality of holes that communicate with an accommodation space of the analysis column are formed in the metal block,
- the housing has a plurality of windows formed at positions respectively facing the plurality of holes formed in the metal block, and
- the housing includes an upper housing portion and a lower housing portion,
- the metal block includes an upper metal block portion arranged to face the upper housing portion and a lower metal block portion arranged to face the lower housing portion,
- the analysis column is to be arranged between the upper metal block portion and the lower metal block portion,
- the plurality of holes are formed in the upper metal block portion, and
- the plurality of windows are formed in the upper housing portion
- a probe of a temperature detecting device is a plurality of rod-shaped temperature sensor probes, and the plurality of rod-shaped temperature sensor probes are configured to be inserted into the plurality of windows formed in the upper housing portion, and are inserted into the plurality of holes formed in the upper metal block portion, wherein
- a temperature of the analysis column is detected by the temperature detecting device probe outside the analyzer column cartridge or infrared light generated from the temperature detecting device through the window and the hole facing the window.
