Liquid chromatography flow cell with integrated light source and detection
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11828682B2) describes a detector system comprising a flow cell with optically transparent walls, light sources integrated within the flow cell, coupling optics, reference photodiodes, and a detection chamber to capture light. The system is designed for use in high-performance liquid chromatography systems and includes a controller to activate light sources and control output levels based on input from reference photodiodes. The detection chamber may include a diffuse, reflective coating to uniformly scatter captured light, and multiple detectors can be used to detect different ranges of wavelengths.
Additionally, the patent also covers a multiple wavelength illumination system that includes a flow cell, light combining devices such as fiber optic cables or waveguides, collimating optics, reference photodiodes, and a detector. The light combining devices may have dichroic coatings or polygonal prisms to mix light from multiple sources before directing it to the flow cell for detection. This system allows for the detection of light emitted from various sources at different wavelengths, enhancing the versatility and efficiency of the illumination process in analytical instruments.
