| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for chromatographically analyzing each of a plurality of samples comprising: (a) an autosampler to contain a plurality of samples for chromatographic analysis; (b) a plurality of chromatographic systems, each system comprising a chromatography column and at least one pump associated with the column to establish a flow of eluant from each column following a selected elution protocol; (c) a single detector for analyzing the eluant from each of said chromatographic systems; (d) a valve positioned between said detector and said chromatographic systems, said valve selectively permitting flow of eluant from each chromatography system to reach the detector in sequence; and (e) a computer control device that considers the samples and as input information an anticipated data collecting window for each sample at the detector, the computer control device selecting samples for introduction to said plurality of chromatographic systems and controlling the valve to selectively direct eluant flow from said plurality of chromatographic systems to the detector, where the selecting of samples and the controlling of the valve is based on the input information of the samples such that each sample is sequentially analyzed during its data collection window by the detector.
