DRIFTING TWO-DIMENSIONAL SEPARATION WITH ADAPTION OF SECOND DIMENSION GRADIENT TO ACTUAL FIRST DIMENSION CONDITION

摘要

A control device for a sample separation apparatus, the sample separation apparatus including a first separation unit and a second separation unit downstream of the first separation unit and supplied with the fluidic sample after treatment by the first separation unit. A control device is configured for controlling the first separation unit to execute a primary separation sequence within a time interval for separating the fluidic sample into fractions, and for controlling the second separation unit to execute secondary separation sequences within the time interval for further separating the separated fractions into sub-fractions, wherein the secondary separation sequences form part of a common sample separation method defined by a common specification of the sample separation involving a set of parameters, and adjusting, over a progress of the primary separation sequence, at least one parameter according to which at least one of the plurality of secondary separation sequences is executed.

1. A control device for a sample separation apparatus for separating a fluidic sample, the sample separation apparatus comprising a first separation unit supplyable with the fluidic sample to be separated and a second separation unit downstream of the first separation unit and supplyable with the fluidic sample after treatment by the first separation unit, wherein the control device is configured for:
controlling the first separation unit to execute a primary separation sequence within a measurement time interval for separating the fluidic sample into a plurality of fractions; controlling the second separation unit to execute a plurality of secondary separation sequences within the measurement time interval for further separating at least a part of the separated plurality of fractions into a plurality of sub-fractions, wherein the secondary separation sequences form part of a common sample separation method defined by a common specification of the sample separation involving a set of parameters; adjusting, over a progress of the primary separation sequence, at least one parameter according to which at least one of the plurality of secondary separation sequences is executed.
