چکیده

The simplicity, versatility, and ease of miniaturization capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) has led to its application for the analysis a wide range inorganic organic species. While C4D detectors have relatively straightforward electronics, no designs specifically focused on spaceflight applications been developed. challenge lies in limited set components tolerant high radiation levels large temperature ranges when designing electronics planetary science missions. In this work we present prototype designed environments over 50–300 krad total ionizing dose (TID). proposed design, including selection components, compatibility main differences compared an open source version detector (OpenC4D) are discussed detail. This was also allow monitoring up three capillaries measurement redundancy. Rad Hard assembled using COTS equivalents radiation-hardened counterparts, performance evaluated by comparison commercial device. Additionally, reagents used astrobiology CE-C4D method developed previously were investigated long-term storage levels. No loss observed exposed 300 TID stored 2 years at room temperature.

Determination of amino acids by capillary electrophoresis with differential resonant contactless conductivity detector.

The impedance of a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (C(4)D) in capillary electrophoresis (CE) was measured by an impedance analysis method. The influence of solution conductivity and capillary dimension on impedance parameters was investigated. Under the experimental conditions used, 86-99.9% of the total impedance of a C(4)D is composed by its imaginary part from the capi...

Characterisation of Crevice and Pit Solution Chemistries Using Capillary Electrophoresis with Contactless Conductivity Detector

The ability to predict structural degradation in-service is often limited by a lack of understanding of the evolving chemical species occurring within a range of different microenvironments associated with corrosion sites. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is capable of analysing nanolitre solution volumes with widely disparate concentrations of ionic species, thereby producing accurate and reliab...
