only fly through a very good vacuum, so removal of the solvent is a vital first
step. The mass detector then scans the molecules it sees by mass and produces
a full high-resolution spectrum, separating all ions that have different masses1.
LC system is responsible for the separation. The solvent cabinet is use for
filtered the sample. HPLC uses a liquid to push the sample. This liquid is called
the Mobile Phase or solvent. Before use the solvent may be filtered through
micron pore size filters or the container can have a frit filter. Based, degasser is a
component of an HLPC system. The function of degasser is degassed a solvents
to eliminate formation of bubbles. Pump is to deliver the mobile phase through
the system before dilute into the auto sampler. After that, the sample will go to
the auto sampler after its break out. In the auto sampler, there is a sample
collector chamber. Some sample such as fat or organic compound was quite
impossible to ionize. Its can be ionized when add some amphoteric acid. The
sample will not recognized if the amphoteric acid is not added.
MS system is to ionize the sample again. There is double electron spray
system where there have two needles. One of the needles is for the reference of
the sample mass and the other is for the sample. The needles is a injector which
is to put the sample in the mobile phase.
Computer is used as an online system to monetize the sample. It uses an
online system to store data, temperature and to observe the ongoing process
that occurs on the sample. A chromatogram will display on the screen of the
computer and it will show the profile of the sample during the process. The
chromatogram shows the good and poor separation of the sample. Each peak
shown on the chromatogram represents only one profile of a compound. Profile
of the sample depends on the volatility.
temperature which usually starts from 15C and can be up to 300C. The liquid
in the sample should be removed before it enters the column.
Next the sample will enter the column. The column is about 30m long with
a diameter of about 0.25m and the column has a temperature of up to 355C. It
is where the coating will be done upon the sample. The temperature has to be
adjusted according to the boiling point of sample 2. If the temperature exceeds
the sample then the result will be loose.
Similar to the Liquid Chromatography Machine, it uses an online system to
store data, temperature and to observe the ongoing process that occurs on the
sample. During the process, a chromatogram will display on the screen of the
computer and it will show the profile of the sample. The chromatogram shows
the good and poor separation of the sample. Each peak shown on the
chromatogram represents only one profile of a compound. Profile of the sample
depends on the volatility.
