Abstract:
One or more homogenizing elements are employed in a flow through, multi-detector optical measurement system. The homogenizing elements correct for problems common to multi-detector flow-through systems such as peak tailing and non-uniform sample profile within the measurement cell. The homogenizing elements include coiled inlet tubing, a flow distributor near the inlet of the cell, and a flow distributor at the outlet of the cell. This homogenization of the sample mimics plug flow within the measurement cell and enables each detector to view the same sample composition in each individual corresponding viewed sample volume. This system is particularly beneficial when performing multiangle light scattering (MALS) measurements of narrow chromatographic peaks such as those produced by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC).

Claim (Index 29):
The device of  claim 26  wherein said flow distributor comprises\n A. a solid flow disrupting element; \n B. a first gasket with an inner opening into which said flow disrupting element is placed; \n C. a pair of retaining screen elements placed along the flow path on either side of said first gasket, sandwiching said first gasket and said flow disrupting element there between; and \n D. a pair of second gaskets placed along the flow path, each of which is in contact with one of said retaining screen elements, sandwiching said pair of retaining screen elements and said first gasket and said flow disrupting element there between.
