ABSTRACT:
A method for analyzing multiple analyte specimens using an analytical column containing a selective adsorbent media. A carrier fluid flows through the column. The method involves introducing a first analyte specimen into the analytical column at an initial temperature. The analytical column is then heated to an intermediate temperature to cause the first analyte specimen to partially travel into the column. The analytical column is then cooled back to the initial temperature, followed by introduction of a second analyte specimen into the analytical column. The analytical column is then heated to a final temperature greater than the intermediate temperature, during which heating analytes from the first and second analyte specimen concurrently and discretely travels through, and sequentially elutes from, the analytical column. The method results in discrete bands of analyte being loaded at spaced intervals within the column, and can be used to load a multiplicity of samples for concurrent analysis. This results in sequential elution of the discrete analyte bands at the end of the analysis, providing for a substantial reduction in time as compared to running multiple samples separately. The method is well suited for the analysis of methylmalonic acid content in multiple urine specimens.
