Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a sample injection device, a sample injection method, and a liquid chromatograph that control the flow of a mobile phase using a switching valve. The sample injection device includes a port connected to a separation column, a pump for supplying a mobile phase, first and second sample injection needles, a syringe, and a valve configured to selectively connect the first sample injection needle to the pump or the syringe and to connect the second sample injection needle to the pump. When the first sample injection needle is attached to the port, the first sample injection needle is connected to the pump through operation of the valve. When the second sample injection needle is attached to the port, the first sample injection needle is connected to the syringe and the second sample injection needle is connected to the pump.
