International Classification:
G01N 100
US Classification:
73 2341, 73 2325, 2101982, 422 89
Abstract:
A gas chromatography system includes a gas chromatography oven having a door adapted for integration with gas chromatography modules which are located outside of the oven cavity. For these purposes, the oven door has module receiving openings in which the modules are secured. The gas chromatography module includes a module housing containing a main coil of the capillary column, a pair of transfer lines sleeved on the free ends of the capillary column, a heater wire wound on the transfer lines, and, optionally, a pair of chromatography connectors which extend into the oven cavity and through which the free ends of the capillary column, as well as transfer lines, projecting into the oven cavity. A wall of the GC oven has an injector port and a detector port for injection of a sample into the oven cavity and for detecting the sample constituents. Column lengths extend within the oven cavity between the module and injector and detector, respectively.

US Patent:
6682699, Jan 27, 2004
Filed:
Mar 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/796508
Inventors:
Robert V. Mustacich - Santa Barbara CA
James F. Everson - Santa Barbara CA
Assignee:
RVM Scientific, Inc. - Santa Barbara CA
International Classification:
G01N 3002
US Classification:
422 89, 96104, 96106, 422 90, 422 91, 422 92
Abstract:
This invention provides a reduced power consumption gas chromatograph system ( ) which includes a capillary gas chromatograph column member ( ) which contains a chemical sample to be analyzed. The gas chromatograph system further includes a heating mechanism ( ) which extends throughout the length of the capillary gas chromatograph column member ( ) and surrounds both the member ( ) and a temperature sensing mechanism ( ) which is mounted adjacent to the column member ( ). The temperature sensing mechanism ( ), the heating mechanism ( ) and the column member ( ) form a chromatograph column assembly ( ) which includes a coiled section ( ) where the components are tightly packed with respect to each other and allows for a reduced power consumption for temperature programming miniature gas chromatography column assemblies.

Temperature Programmed Low Thermal Mass Fast Liquid Chromatography Analysis System

View page
US Patent:
20090173146, Jul 9, 2009
Filed:
Jan 7, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/007067
Inventors:
Matthias Pursch - Rheinmuenster, DE
Patric Eckerle - Rheinau, DE
Jim Luong - Sherwood Park, CA
Hernan Cortes - Midland MI, US
Ronda Gras - Edmonton, CA
Kevin Hool - Midland MI, US
Robert Mustacich - Santa Barbara CA, US
International Classification:
G01N 30/02
US Classification:
73 6152
Abstract:
A temperature programmed low thermal mass fast liquid chromatography system capable of high throughput and low power consumption includes a straight or curved short reloadable low-mass tubular heater with a capillary column extending inside. If the capillary column is long enough, it is coiled to form a coiled capillary LC column (the length of which does not exceed 0.2 m-1.0 m) packed in a singular module package with a heating wire and a temperature sensing wire extending along and in proximity to the LC capillary column. A tubular heater, e.g. a steel tubing, incorporates the LC capillary column, along with the heating wire and the temperatures sensor and is coiled to form a miniature power saving LC module which may be attached outside a chromatography oven. Capillary lengths extend inside the oven between the inlet and outlet of the LC column module and mobile phase source and detector, respectively. An electronic temperature control block is positioned outside the oven cavity and controls the heating of the capillary LC column, as well as other heated zones in the system.

Column Assembly For A Gas Chromatograph

View page
US Patent:
20120198913, Aug 9, 2012
Filed:
Feb 2, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/364719
Inventors:
Robert V. Mustacich - Santa Barbara CA, US
Assignee:
AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Loveland CO
International Classification:
G01N 30/02
B23P 15/26
US Classification:
73 2339, 2989003
Abstract:
A column assembly for gas chromatography, which is coolable by a fluid, includes a capillary column, a heating element for heating at least a portion of the capillary column, and a tube having a lumen and in contact with at least one of the capillary column and the heating element. When energized, the heating element raises the temperature of the capillary column. To lower the temperature of the capillary column, a fluid flows through the tube, and heat is transferred from the capillary column to the fluid in the tube.

Antimicrobial Polymer Compositions

View page
US Patent:
44797958, Oct 30, 1984
Filed:
Jul 27, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/402381
Inventors:
Robert V. Mustacich - Fairfield OH
Donald S. Lucas - Fairfield OH
Roger L. Stone - Fairfield OH
Assignee:
The Procter & Gamble Company - Cincinnati OH
International Classification:
A61M 2500
US Classification:
604 53
Abstract:
The present invention relates to medical polymers and devices made therefrom, and is based on the discovery that certain carboxylate antimicrobial agents can be releasably incorporated into permeable polymers. The walls of medical devices such as catheters can be fashioned from such polymers. In use, the antimicrobial agent diffuses from the walls to the surface of the device to form an antimicrobial barrier on the surface of the device and a zone of microbial inhibition on tissue surfaces surrounding the device, thereby effectively supplementing the body's own natural microbial barriers where they have been compromised. The bacterial contamination-resistant carboxylate-plus-polymer compositions herein can be used in the manufacture of a wide variety of medical devices, especially urinary catheters, intravenous catheters, wound dressings, and the like.
