Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a liquid filtration and degassing device and an auxiliary cleaning device, belonging to the field of instrumentation, and particularly to a mobile phase filtration and degassing device for liquid chromatography. Background Technology

[0002] High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a separation and analysis technique characterized by using a liquid as the mobile phase. A typical HPLC system consists of a mobile phase reservoir, pump, injector, column, detector, and recorder. HPLC has a wide range of applications, spanning almost all fields of quantitative and qualitative analysis. It enables the effective separation of the target main component from various impurity components, and allows for the quantification of each component through the integration of the detector signal.

[0003] Analytical liquid chromatographs are highly precision instruments often used to analyze trace impurities. They have very high requirements for the mobile phase. If the mobile phase is contaminated or contains bubbles, it will increase baseline noise or produce ghost peaks, affecting the detection and quantification of impurities. Therefore, the mobile phase needs to be a clean mobile phase that has been filtered and degassed.

[0004] Currently, mobile phase filtration is mostly done manually using vacuum filtration flasks. This method is cumbersome and slow. Vacuum filtration often results in the removal of volatile organic phases (such as methanol, acetonitrile, etc.) or pH adjusters (such as triethylamine, trifluoroacetic acid, etc.), causing changes in the mobile phase ratio and affecting the analytical results. After filtration, additional ultrasonic degassing is required, which generates significant noise pollution. Cleaning the vacuum filtration flask after filtration is also quite cumbersome, often requiring multiple rinses with tap water, cleaning with purified water, and repeated vacuum filtration with purified water to thoroughly clean the filter screen. After cleaning, the flask is then dried for future use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of existing processing methods, the purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile phase filtration device and an additional cleaning device, which has the advantages of rapid filtration, good degassing effect, no loss of volatile components, high filtration yield, efficient and thorough cleaning, low residue, and high degree of automation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A liquid filtration and degassing device (such as...) Figure 1As shown), it includes a filter pump (1), a first three-way valve (2), a two-way valve (3), a filter (4), a four-way valve (5), an air pump (6), a liquid pump (7), a degassed lung (8), and a controller (11). The first three-way valve (2) connects the filter pump (1), the two-way valve (3), and the filter (4). The four-way valve (5) connects the filter (4), the air pump (6), the liquid pump (7), and the degassed lung (8). The controller (11) performs rinsing, filtration and degassed, cleaning, and evacuation operations according to the user-set program.

[0008] Preferably, a liquid filtration degassing device (e.g., capable of thoroughly purging degassing lungs) is used. Figure 3 As shown), it includes a filter pump (1), a first three-way valve (2), a two-way valve (3), a filter (4), a four-way valve (5), an air pump (6), a liquid pump (7), a degassing lung (8), a fourth three-way valve (20), a second three-way valve (21), and a controller (11). The first three-way valve (2) connects the filter pump (1), the two-way valve (3), and the filter (4). The four-way valve (5) connects the filter (4), the second three-way valve (21), the liquid pump (7), and the degassing lung (8). The fourth three-way valve (20) connects the air pump (6), the degassing lung (8), and the second three-way valve (21). During normal filtration and degassing, the liquid flows from bottom to top through the degassing lung, filling it and improving the degassing effect. During drainage, the air pump blows air from top to bottom to fully drain the liquid from the degassing lung. The controller (11) performs rinsing, filtration and degassing, cleaning, and emptying operations according to the user-set program.

[0009] Preferably, the first three-way valve (2) and the two-way valve (3) of the liquid filtration degassing device can be replaced by a single three-way valve.

[0010] Preferably, the liquid filtration degassing device further includes a pressure sensor (12), which is located between the filter pump (1) and the first tee (2). The pressure sensor (12) can monitor the filtration pressure, enable the device to operate in constant pressure mode and constant speed mode, and check the integrity of the filter membrane before and after filtration.

[0011] Preferably, the liquid filtration degassing device further includes a second degassing lung (13), which is located after the degassing lung (8), thereby improving the degassing effect through the cascade of two degassing lungs.

[0012] Preferably, the outlet of the degassed lung (8) is lower than the inlet of the second degassed lung (13), so that the residual liquid in the two degassed lungs can be drained when the pump is working.

[0013] Preferably, the liquid filtration degassing device further includes one or more additional degassing lungs, and the degassing effect is further improved by cascading multiple degassing lungs.

[0014] Preferably, the liquid filtration degassing device further includes a first three-way valve (14), which is located before the filter pump (1) and is used to select the solution to be filtered and air. The solution to be filtered is selected for performing solution filtration, and air is selected for pressurization and pressure holding tests for filter membrane integrity testing.

[0015] Preferably, the liquid filtration and degassing device also has installation orientation requirements. The four-way valve (5) is located at a low point, lower than the filter (4) and the degassing lung (8). The liquid pump (7) is lower than the four-way valve (5). After filtration, the liquid pump (7) can pump out the residual liquid in the system, reduce system residue, and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0016] Preferably, the filter pump (1) is a peristaltic pump that can perform forward and reverse rotation, thereby achieving forward filtration during filtration and alternating forward and reverse rinsing during cleaning to achieve efficient cleaning.

[0017] Preferably, the pump tube used in the filter pump (1) is a PTFE-lined tube, so that the material in contact with the liquid is a completely inert material.

[0018] Preferably, after filtration is completed, the air pump (6) operates to blow out the residual liquid in the system, thereby increasing the yield.

[0019] Preferably, during the cleaning operation, firstly, the filter pump (1) performs reverse cleaning, secondly, the filter pump (1) performs forward cleaning, then the air pump (6) performs bubbling cleaning, and finally, the liquid pump (7) removes the cleaning liquid and dries the liquid in the system. This process is repeated alternately, and efficient cleaning can be achieved with a small amount of cleaning liquid.

[0020] Preferably, in normal filtration and degassing operation, the second three-way valve (21) is connected to the fourth three-way valve (20) of the liquid filtration and degassing device, and the liquid in the degassing lung that has been filtered and degassed is discharged through the liquid outlet (18). When filtration and purging are completed, the second three-way valve (21) is connected to the four-way valve (5), and the air pump (6) is working to blow gas into the degassing lung (8), and then through the four-way valve (5), the second three-way valve (21), and then to the liquid outlet (18) for discharge. This can greatly reduce the residual liquid in the system, improve the yield, and reduce the residue.

[0021] Preferably, the liquid filtration device further includes an additional cleaning device (such as...). Figure 5As shown), it includes a cleaning bottle (22), a liquid pump (23), a third three-way valve (24), a quick-connect female connector (26), a quick-connect male connector (27), and a second controller (25). The liquid pump (23) is connected to the upper end of the cleaning bottle (22), the quick-connect female connector (26) is connected to the lower end of the cleaning bottle (22), and the quick-connect male connector (27) is connected to the outlet (18) pipeline. The third three-way valve (24) can select one of cleaning liquid A (28) and cleaning liquid B (29). The inlet (15) pipeline is inserted into the cleaning bottle from the upper opening to the bottom. The second controller (25) can realize the addition and replenishment of cleaning liquid A and cleaning liquid B in different proportions.

[0022] Preferably, the controller (11) and the second controller (25) work together. When cleaning is performed after preparation, it is only necessary to insert the inlet (15) pipe into the cleaning bottle (22) and the outlet (18) pipe into the quick connector (26) to perform cleaning with one click. First, the second controller (25) controls the liquid pump (23) to add cleaning liquid and rinse the outer wall of the inlet (15) pipe. After adding a specified amount of cleaning liquid, the controller (11) controls the filter pump (1) to perform reverse cleaning. Second, the filter pump (1) performs forward cleaning. During forward cleaning, as the liquid is sucked into the interior of the filter degassing device, the second controller (25) controls the liquid pump (23) to replenish the liquid in time to form a full circulation. Then, the air pump (6) performs bubbling cleaning. This is repeated many times. Finally, the liquid pump (7) removes the cleaning liquid and dries the liquid in the system. In this way, cleaning with different proportions of cleaning liquid can be performed many times. Beneficial effects

[0023] (1) The present invention can complete filtration and degassing continuously in one go, with fast filtration speed (up to 600 mL / min) and good degassing effect (dissolved oxygen content is less than 5 ppm).

[0024] (2) The present invention uses positive pressure filtration, so that the volatile components of the mobile phase are not lost and the composition of the mobile phase remains unchanged during preparation.

[0025] (3) The present invention can perform filter membrane integrity checks before and after filtration, ensuring that the user's mobile phase is properly filtered, avoiding consequences such as filter membrane damage causing blockage of the liquid chromatograph.

[0026] (4) The present invention has a high yield. By blowing out the residual mobile phase in the system with an air pump, the loss of the present invention is only about 30 mL.

[0027] (5) The present invention has high cleaning efficiency and low residue. The residual liquid in the system is drained by a pump located at the lowest point, achieving efficient cleaning and drying. Only 1000mL of water is needed to achieve a residue level of less than one ten-thousandth.

[0028] (6) This invention is easy to use. It can perform preparation by filtering and degassing with one click. After preparation, the inlet and outlet tubes are inserted and the program is automatically cleaned. It can also clean all surfaces that come into contact with the sample (including the outer surface of the inlet tube). Attached Figure Description

During forward cleaning, as the liquid is sucked into the interior of the filter degassing device, the second controller (25) controls the liquid pump (23) to replenish the liquid in time to form a full circulation. Then, the air pump (6) performs bubbling cleaning. This is repeated many times. Finally, the liquid pump (7) removes the cleaning liquid and dries the liquid in the system. In this way, cleaning with different proportions of cleaning liquid can be performed many times.
