The nature of this invention encompasses the creation of a capillary gas chromatography (GC) column assembly and a thermal modulator used to heat or cool the column assembly in a very thermally and chromatographically efficient manner. The GC column assembly described herein consists of capillary GC column material, such as fused silica or metal capillary tubing, which is constrained to lie in a flat, ordered, spiral pattern and then encased between two thin opposing surfaces. The resulting column assembly is flat, dimensionally stable and can be very efficiently thermally modulated. The resulting column assembly also takes up very little space, has very little thermal mass, and can be easily and accurately manufactured. The column assembly can be adapted for chromatographic use by affixing it to the surface of a thermal modulator described herein by means of adhesive force or by mechanical compression, and then by attaching the free ends of the exposed column material to the input and output ports of the chromatographic device. The temperature of the thermal modulator and capillary column assembly is to be controlled by the chromatographic device or by standalone temperature controlling electronics. The thermal modulator described herein contains an element for temperature modulation of the capillary column assembly to which it is attached and a temperature sensing element for providing accurate temperature feedback to the controlling electronics. The overall result of this when coupled to a chromatographic device is maximally efficient chemical separations in a small space with minimal power consumption.

A temperature programmed low thermal mass fast liquid chromatography system capable of high throughput and low power consumption includes a straight or curved short reloadable low-mass tubular heater with a capillary column extending inside. If the capillary column is long enough, it is coiled to form a coiled capillary LC column (the length of which does not exceed 0.2 m-1.0 m) packed in a singular module package with a heating wire and a temperature sensing wire extending along and in proximity to the LC capillary column. A tubular heater, e.g. a steel tubing, incorporates the LC capillary column, along with the heating wire and the temperatures sensor and is coiled to form a miniature power saving LC module which may be attached outside a chromatography oven. Capillary lengths extend inside the oven between the inlet and outlet of the LC column module and mobile phase source and detector, respectively. An electronic temperature control block is positioned outside the oven cavity and controls the heating of the capillary LC column, as well as other heated zones in the system.
