About
About this innovation Transferring samples from one capillary to a second capillary is not straight forward. Even more so for small quantities such as droplets. Scientists have developed an apparatus to transfer droplets from a first capillary to a second capillary. For sample handling and sample pre-treatment, sample is flowing through small tubes in many applications. Scientists had concentrated a sample in a droplet at the end of a capillary (Anal. Chem., 2013, 85 (12), pp 5734–5739). This droplet needed to be transferred to a second capillary for further handling of the droplet (e.g. transportation to NMR). The system that was developed for this purpose has been build and tested successfully. The system is fully automated and has proven to be very robust. We are seeking commercial partners to (co)develop this into commercial products. Applications can be very broad, we have concentrated our efforts towards sample handling for LC-NMR. A working set-up is available and so are experimental data using the set-up. Key benefits Very Robust Fully automated Application LC - NMR LC - EV – NMR LC – SPE - NMR
