<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved fluid technology which is capable of using gradient liquid chromatography and reducing the amount of waste liquid, free of complications, has reproducibility, and shortens the delay time. <P>SOLUTION: A fluidic device is provided with a plurality of fluid-transporting features, extending from a common inlet to a common outlet, and a means for effecting a fluid flow through the fluid-transporting features. Each feature has a differing fluid dwell time. The means for effecting a fluid flow cooperates with the fluid-transporting features, merges fluids from the fluid-transporting features, and produces an output stream from the common outlet. The output stream exhibits at least one desired characteristic generated as the result of the differing dwell times. It is thereby possible to generate a stream of a micro-volume flow rate and to obtain a smooth gradient in gradient liquid chromatography also. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
