Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an experimental and automated analytical instrument and liquid automatic processing equipment in the biochemical field, and in particular to a medium-pressure injection valve group for gel purification chromatography. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the demand for high throughput of instrument automation, the automatic injection of biochemical instruments has become a necessary step to achieve automation and high throughput, and various automatic sample injectors have emerged. The core component required for the realization of the automatic injection function is the flow path switching valve, which can switch the sample to the main flow path to complete the injection process. Therefore, many foreign-funded enterprises specializing in the production of flow path switching valves have also emerged. For example, Valco, VICI, and IDEX in the United States, especially the 7725i and 3725i high-pressure valves, as well as a wide variety of low-pressure valves. It has almost become the standard injection valve for liquid chromatography and other analytical instruments around the world.

[0003] Among them, the low-pressure injection valve is suitable for instruments and equipment with a flow pressure below 1 MPa, such as conventional solid phase extraction instruments and other pre-treatment instruments. There are many imported and domestic products, and there is a lot of room for choice. The advantages are: 1) Low price. Mature products are 2000-5000 yuan / piece. 2) There are both domestic and imported brands, and there is a lot of room for choice. For example, Germany's Baodi Fluid, the United States VICI, the United States IDEX, China Kentuo and Beiang Fluid, etc. The disadvantages are: 1) Poor salt and dirt resistance. The stator and rotor are sealed by high-precision surface fitting, which requires the cleanliness of the sample, and salt-containing samples will also damage the sealing surface. 2) The failure rate is relatively high. Because it involves high-precision stator and rotor processing, assembly and reducer structure, and the samples of the pre-treatment instrument are relatively dirty, the possibility of failure is increased, affecting the reliability of the instrument.

[0004] Among them, the high-pressure injection valve is suitable for instruments and equipment above 20 MPa, such as liquid chromatography and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and other analytical instruments. There are only imported brands of mature commercial products, such as VICI and IDEX in the United States, and there is no mature domestic product at present. The advantages are: 1) High pressure resistance, suitable for analytical instruments related to high-pressure fluids, and irreplaceable. For example, the pressure resistance of the 3725i injection valve of VICI and IDEX in the United States is 20 MPa, and the 7725i injection valve will not leak even at 42 MPa. The disadvantages are: 1) Poor salt and dirt resistance. The stator and rotor are sealed by a more high-precision surface fitting, which requires higher cleanliness of the sample, and salt-containing samples will also cause great damage to the sealing surface. 2) The failure rate is higher than that of the low-pressure injection valve. Because it involves more high-precision stator and rotor processing, assembly and reducer structure, and the samples of the pre-treatment instrument are relatively dirty, the possibility of failure is increased, which further affects the reliability of the instrument. 3) The internal liquid path of the injection valve is small, which is not suitable for sample pre-treatment instruments. In order to achieve ultra-high pressure, the internal liquid path diameter is very small, and the dirt resistance and flow rate are limited. 4) Expensive, foreign monopoly. Imports are basically American VICI and American IDEX brands. For example, the price of 3725i injection valve is nearly 8,000 yuan per piece.

[0005] Among them, the medium-pressure injection valve is suitable for instruments and equipment with pressures between 1 MPa and 10 MPa, such as analytical instruments such as gel purification preparative chromatography, with working pressures in the range of 1 MPa to 10 MPa. Currently, there is no suitable injection valve, and only the expensive 3725i high-pressure injection valve (about 30 MPa) can be used, which can only be used reluctantly. However, the 3725i high-pressure injection valve cannot maximize the efficiency of gel purification preparative chromatography, and has a high failure rate due to poor resistance to dirt, which needs to be solved urgently.

[0006] In view of this, in order to provide gel purification chromatography with a suitable medium-pressure injection valve, and in order to have a medium-pressure injection valve with high resistance to dirt and salt and a large internal diameter, the inventor, based on research and development in related fields, in order to fill the technical gap in medium-pressure injection valves in pretreatment fields such as medium-pressure gel purification preparative chromatography, has continuously tested and improved, and thus the patent of the present invention was produced.

[0045] In the medium-pressure injection valve 2, the stepper motor 15 adopts a 42 or 57 fixed-axis stepper motor, which can realize clockwise and counterclockwise rotation.

[0046] In the medium-pressure injection valve 2, the positioning optical coupler 16 adopts a photoelectric sensor to detect whether the medium-pressure injection valve 2 has successfully switched the flow path.

[0047] In the medium-pressure injection valve 2, the two-position three-way valve head 19 has a maximum pressure resistance of 10 MPa and a spherical valve design is adopted inside.

[0048] Finally, the three medium-pressure injection valves 2 are integrated and covered by the shell 1, leaving only the medium-pressure plunger infusion pump interface 3, the gel purification column interface 4, the sample quantitative loop interface 5, the syringe injection pump interface 6, and the injection needle interface 7 exposed, thus completing the assembly of the medium-pressure injection valve group.

[0050] The sample quantitative ring 11 has a volume specification of 10 ml, an outer diameter of 1 / 8 inch, an inner diameter of 1 / 16 inch, and is made of polyetheretherketone, Teflon or stainless steel.

[0051] The inside of the injection needle interface 7 adopts a FFKM perfluororubber O-ring structure for sealing the injection needle 21 .

[0052] The injection needle 21 is made of a stainless steel tube with an outer diameter of 1 / 8 inch and an inner diameter of 1 mm.

[0053] Next, combine Figure 3A , Figure 3B , Figure 4A , Figure 4B The three working steps of the present invention are explained in detail.

[0054] Step 1: If Figure 3A , 4A As shown, the present invention is in the first connected state. The chromatographic mobile phase liquid in the first liquid container 9, under the power provided by the medium-pressure plunger infusion pump 8, sequentially flows through the medium-pressure plunger infusion pump interface 3 and the gel purification chromatographic column interface 4 into the gel purification chromatographic column 10. At the same time, the sample liquid in the second liquid container 13, under the liquid suction power provided by the syringe injection pump 12, sequentially flows through the injection needle 21 and the sample quantitative loop 11, and finally the sample is temporarily stored in the sample quantitative loop 11. This sample liquid quantitative suction process ends.

[0055] Step 2: If Figure 3B , 4BAs shown, the present invention switches to the second connection state, and the injection needle 21 is inserted into the injection needle interface 7 with the participation of a manual or automatic sampler. At this time, the chromatographic mobile phase liquid in the first liquid container 9, under the power provided by the medium-pressure plunger infusion pump 8, flows through the medium-pressure plunger infusion pump interface 3, the sample quantitative loop interface 5, the sample quantitative loop 11, the injection needle 21, the injection needle interface 7, the gel purification chromatographic column interface 4 and flows to the gel purification chromatographic column 10. In this process, the sample liquid in the sample quantitative loop 11, along with the chromatographic mobile phase liquid in the first liquid container 9, flows through the injection needle 21, the injection needle interface 7, the gel purification chromatographic column interface 4, and finally enters the gel purification chromatographic column 10, and the gel purification chromatographic separation process begins. This sample liquid complete injection process ends.

[0056] Step 3: If Figure 3A As shown, the present invention switches to the connected state 1. After the injection is completed, the chromatographic mobile phase liquid in the first liquid container 9, under the power provided by the medium-pressure plunger infusion pump 8, flows through the medium-pressure plunger infusion pump interface 3 and the gel purification chromatographic column interface 4 in sequence and enters the gel purification chromatographic column 10. At the same time, under the liquid pushing power provided by the syringe injection pump 12, the chromatographic mobile phase liquid in the syringe injection pump 12 flows through the syringe injection pump interface 6, the sample quantitative loop interface 5, the sample quantitative loop 11, and the injection needle 21 in sequence, and finally completes the cleaning of the inner and outer walls of the injection needle 21. This cleaning process of the injection needle 21 and the sample quantitative loop 11 is completed, and the next sample liquid quantitative absorption process is prepared.

[0057] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0058] The invention fills the technical gap of medium-pressure injection valves in gel purification chromatography injection devices through the independently designed and developed medium-pressure injection valve group, and can realize the automatic injection process of instruments in the pressure range of 1 MPa to 10 MPa. It solves the problem that low-pressure injection valves cannot be used due to insufficient pressure, and solves the problems of poor dirt resistance, poor salt resistance, small diameter and insufficient flow of high-pressure injection valves.

[0059] The invention can avoid the problems of poor dirt resistance and poor salt resistance caused by high-precision machining and assembly of the stator and rotor of a traditional rotary valve by using a medium-pressure injection valve comprising a two-position three-way valve head.

[0060] The invention can solve the problems of cost increase and performance mismatch caused by using high-pressure injection valves through the independently designed and developed medium-pressure injection valve group.

[0061] The circuit and mechanical technical difficulties of the present invention are very small, the reliability is higher, and it is easier to realize and popularize. The subsequent maintenance cost is reduced by three simple medium-pressure injection valves designed and manufactured independently.

[0062] The above description of the present invention is illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many modifications, changes or equivalents may be made within the spirit and scope defined in the claims, but they will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
