Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrolytic device includes four channels separated by three charged barriers. The device can be used to suppress an eluent stream containing separated sample analyte ions and/or to pretreat a sample stream containing unseparated analyte ions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrolytic device suitable for use in pretreating a liquid sample and suppression, said electrolytic device comprising a housing including at least first, second, third, and fourth side-by-side liquid flow-through channels, each having an inlet and an outlet; said first channel being separated from said second channel by a first charged barrier having exchangeable ions capable of passing ions of only one charge, positive or negative, and of blocking bulk liquid flow; said second channel being separated from said third channel by a second charged barrier having exchangeable ions capable of passing ions of the same charge, positive or negative, and of blocking bulk liquid flow; said third channel being separated from said fourth channel by a third charged barrier having exchangeable ions capable of passing ions of the same charge, positive or negative, and of blocking bulk liquid flow; a first electrode disposed adjacent to and along said first channel in electrical communication therewith; and a second electrode disposed adjacent to and along said fourth channel in electrical communication therewith, wherein said first charged barrier, second charged barrier, and third charged barrier all have a same charge.
