In gas chromatography, a capillary column (for example, 0.2 to 0.5 mmφ) is often used as the main column, but because the inner diameter of the capillary column is small, the sample (solution) is usually reduced to 1/50 to 1/300 due to the column load. (split) into the capillary column. Therefore, if the sample is a dilute solution (low concentration component), analysis is often difficult in terms of detection sensitivity (for example, analysis of biological samples such as steroids and organic acids in urine). Of course, there is also a method of introducing most of the sample containing a solvent into a capillary column for analysis, but there is a risk that the capillary column will deteriorate due to a large amount of solvent. Furthermore, unnecessary high-boiling components that elute after the target component take time to complete elution, making it impossible to introduce the next sample. That is, the analysis time becomes significantly longer, and there is also the risk that the high-boiling components remain in the capillary column, causing deterioration of the expensive column.

In other words, the present invention provides a precolumn in the sample vaporization column and changes over time the heating control and carrier gas flow to the sample vaporization column, thereby removing the solvent component that makes up the majority of the sample solution in advance. In other words, the sample solution is concentrated by removing it without passing it through the capillary column, and after the target components in the sample solution are introduced into the capillary column, unnecessary high-boiling components are removed without passing through the capillary column, thereby diluting the solution. This enables analysis of samples in a short time.

Thus, first, a certain amount of sample is taken into a microsyringe (not shown), and the sample solution is dropped through the septum 5 onto the sample vaporization chamber 18, that is, the silica wool 6 of the sample vaporization chamber. At this time, the temperature in the sample vaporization chamber 18 is set to a temperature at which only the solvent in the sample solution can evaporate (for example, room temperature to about 70°C, which of course varies depending on the solvent). Also, the on-off valve 36 is closed and the on-off valves 32 and 37 are opened, and the carrier gas passes through the pressure regulator 29 and the on-off valve 37, inside the inner cylinder 7, and then escapes to the outside through the on-off valve 32, thus entering the sample solution. The highly volatile solvent evaporates and the
2, it is discharged from the system.

Next, the on-off valve 32 is closed, the on-off valve 36 is opened to reverse the flow direction of the carrier gas in the inner cylinder 7, and at the same time, the heater 8 is activated to open the sample vaporization chamber 18.
is rapidly heated (e.g., 300° C.) to vaporize the target component remaining in the silica wool 6, and send it to the capillary column 9, where it is detected by a detector 10 as appropriate. In this way, the analysis of the sample is performed only on the target components excluding the solvent, which accounts for most of the sample, and therefore, even if the sample is a dilute sample, highly sensitive analysis is possible.

Subsequently, the on-off valve 32 is opened, the on-off valve 36 is closed,
The heater 8 continues to operate, and the high boiling point components remaining in the filler 41 in the sample vaporization chamber 18, that is, in the precolumn, are expelled from the system through the exhaust section 22. The analysis time is therefore shortened and the next sample can be introduced at a very early stage. Furthermore, deterioration of the column due to high boiling point components remaining in the capillary column 9 can be prevented. Note that during these operations, the on-off valve 37 remains open, so the flow rate of the capillary column 9 is kept constant by the pressure regulator 38. Also, the variable high resistance 33 is for septum purge, and the variable high resistance 39 is for septum purge.
This eliminates the dead space at the connection between the outer cylinder 15 and the capillary column 9, and also allows the monitoring detector 4 to be
0 to monitor the target component and facilitate channel switching. The control valve 34 is provided to cause leakage since the pressure gauge reaches the maximum value when the flow rate controller 35 is closed, and is interlocked with the on-off valve 36. Furthermore, if the diffusion of the solvent becomes a problem, the on-off valve 36 may be kept open during solvent removal. The flow rate controller 35 can be replaced with a pressure regulator.

試料導入のために冷風によつて冷却される。
Note that after the sample vaporization chamber 18 is rapidly heated, it is cooled by cold air in order to introduce the next sample.

Among the sample heating temperature control means adopted in the above examples, the heating means is a means of coating the outside of the inner cylinder (made of glass) with a metal film, or inserting a paramagnetic metal inside the inner cylinder and performing high-frequency heating. However, in either case, care must be taken to prevent the vaporized components from coming into contact with the metal surface and causing decomposition.

According to the present invention, since the split flow path is used as a carrier gas supply flow path during solvent removal, there is no need to separately install a carrier gas introduction pipe.Moreover, with this simplified configuration, the solvent that occurs when using a capillary column can be removed. Problems such as column deterioration due to components can be resolved.
