Abstract
A modular separation system wherein a separation unit is separate from a mounting device that accommodates the separation unit in a separation apparatus. The mounting device is an integral part of the separation apparatus. A method for fluid-fluid extraction of an analyte from a sample fluid to a receiving fluid in a separation apparatus.
Claims22
A separation unit to be put into position by insertion in a mounting device for use in separation of an analyte from a sample fluid to a receiving fluid, the unit comprising:
- a two part body portion with at least one sample fluid cavity for accommodating sample fluid, and at least one receiving fluid cavity for accommodating receiving fluid, whereby each sample fluid cavity is connected to its corresponding receiving fluid cavity,
- each sample fluid cavity comprises a sample fluid inlet for leading sample fluid into the sample fluid cavity, and a sample fluid outlet for leading sample fluid out of the sample fluid cavity,
- each receiving fluid cavity comprises a receiving fluid inlet for leading receiving fluid into the receiving fluid cavity, and a receiving fluid outlet for leading receiving fluid out of the receiving fluid cavity.
A device for mounting a separation unit in a separation apparatus, the device comprising:
- a receiving fluid injector connectable to the receiving fluid inlet,
- a receiving fluid extractor connectable to the receiving fluid outlet,
- a sample fluid injector connectable to the receiving fluid inlet,
- a sample fluid extractor connectable to the receiving fluid outlet.
