Abstract

A robust, portable and miniature battery powered gradient capillary liquid chromatograph (total weight ~2.7 kg, without battery ~2.0 kg), with integrated microfluidic injection, column heating and high sensitivity low-UV absorbance detection is presented. The portable capillary chromatograph, was applied with a packed reversed-phase capillary column (100 mm x 300 μm I.D., 5 μm ODS), housed within an integrated capillary column heater controlled by a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) chip module. The system delivered retention time and peak area relative standard deviation in isocratic mode of −1 based upon a 316 nL injection volume, with separation efficiencies of between 18,000 and 29,700 N m−1, with sub-4 min run times. The portable capillary LC system was successfully coupled to a small footprint portable mass spectrometer (Microsaic 4500 MiD) to demonstrate compatibility and point-of-need miniaturised LC-MS capability.
