操作が行なわれていた。<Conventional technology> In a conventional high-performance liquid chromatograph, a fixed amount of sample is collected by a sample collection valve and transported to a separation column using an eluent, and the column chromatographically separates the ions to be measured in the sample. Afterwards, the ion O conductivity is detected by a detector (conductivity meter). Furthermore, in order to reduce the conductivity background of the eluent, a suppressor column filled with, for example, an anion exchange resin having a large exchange capacity is often installed between the separation column and the detector. When a nitric acid (HNO3) solution is used as the eluent, the anion exchange resin in the suppressor column changes from the OH'' type to the NO3- type over time. In the OH''' type, the nitric acid solution changes to water (20) by passing through the suppressor column, reducing the conductivity background of the eluent, but in the NO3- type, the nitric acid solution does not change to water. No decrease in the conductivity background of the eluent was observed.Therefore, in order to keep the anion exchange resin in the suppressor column in the OH-type, a regenerating solution such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was flowed through the suppressor column. A playback operation was being performed.

It is led to the tank 1dK through the connection ports 5e and 5f → the metering pipe 5g → the third and fourth connecting ports 5ce 5d, and fills the inside of the metering pipe 5g. In such a situation, when a sample is injected from the fifth connection port 3e of the sample sampling valve 3 using, for example, a syringe, the sample flows through the sixth connection port 3f → measurement −g3g → third connection port 3cm+ It flows through the path of the fourth connecting hole 3d and fills the inside of the metering tube 3g. Thereafter, when the sampling valve 3 is turned on, its internal flow path is switched from the solid line connection state in FIG. 1 to the dashed line connection state. Therefore, the sample in the measuring tube 3g is carried by the eluent to the separation column 4, where the cations in the sample are chromatographically separated. The eluate from the column 4 passes through the suppressor column 6 to the detector 7.
conductivity is detected. Incidentally, as described above, the conductivity and the gradient of the eluent are reduced in the suppressor column 6, but if the eluent continues to flow, the function of the suppressor column 6 will deteriorate. Therefore, for example, when the flow path switching valve 5 is turned on 8.5 minutes after turning on the sample collection valve 3, the internal flow path of the switching valve 5 is switched from the solid line connection state in FIG. 1 to the broken line connection state. . Therefore, the regenerating liquid in the measuring tube 5g is carried into the suppressor column 6 and the anion exchange resin in the column 6 is regenerated. Therefore, by periodically introducing the regenerating liquid into the suppressor column 6 by turning on and off the flow path switching valve 5, the suppressor column 604' can be efficiently stabilized and the ground reduction function can be maintained stably for a long period of time. be able to maintain it.

If such a high-performance liquid chromatograph is used, there is no need to interrupt the analysis and perform special regeneration operations as in the conventional example, and there is no need to worry about deterioration of the function of the suppressor column. It has the advantage of being able to contribute greatly to continuous analysis, such as by being able to assemble data. Further, the amount of regenerating liquid introduced into the suppressor column 6 is determined by the metering pipe 5 of the flow path switching valve 5.
Since only the g-content integral is used, the baseline is stabilized quickly and the next analysis can be carried out in a short time.
