Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chromatography column, more specifically to an automatic liquid feeding device of chromatography column. BACKGROUND

[0002] The main principle of column chromatography technology is that components are separated by repeated distribution according to the different distribution coefficients of each component in the sample mixture in the stationary phase and the mobile phase. During column chromatography operation, an insoluble matrix is first filled in a cylindrical tube to form a stationary phase. The sample is added to the column and eluted with a special solvent, and the solvent constitutes the mobile phase. During the elution of the sample from the column, the components are separated by repeated distribution according to the different distribution coefficients of each component in the sample mixture in the stationary phase and the mobile phase. During the chromatography process, the chromatography material is often dripped into the collection tube from the bottom outlet of the chromatography column after chromatography, and the eluent flows into the chromatography column from the top, thus eluting the chromatography column. Therefore, the existing chromatography column usually has an eluent device at the top, but in actual use, the eluent is often insufficient, and the staff needs to manually add it, which is time-consuming and laborious, affecting the chromatography efficiency. To solve this problem, the present inventor proposes an automatic liquid feeding device for chromatography column, which adds an eluent automatic liquid feeding device to automatically add eluent, facilitates chromatography operation, improves chromatography efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of the staff.

The liquid level in the chromatography column and the liquid level in the communication cavity are kept at the same height, achieving the purpose of automatic liquid feeding and maintaining the liquid level. The structure is simple and easy to operate.
