In a chromatography system, including within the system an extraction vessel which receives a mixture of mobile phase and co-solvent and provides a mixture of mobile phase and co-solvent with sample to a chromatography column to increase sample concentration within the mixture. In addition, adding a reservoir to the chromatography system to form an extraction-pressurization system, wherein the mixture with sample may be collected in the reservoir and may diffuse and equilibrate to an approximately uniform sample concentration before being provided to the chromatography column. Also in addition, providing a plurality of extraction-pressurization systems to allow near-simultaneous extraction of sample and loading of the column, or concurrent extraction and loading by the plurality of extraction-pressurization systems. |
