That is, the present invention provides a method for supplying a developing solvent, which is a mobile phase, in a state in which a sample is loaded on a filler in a column tube 111 (that is, a separation process of column chromatography) Column chromatography can be carried out.

The sample storage unit 113 stores sample samples separated and discharged from the column tube 111, and includes a plurality of sample storage vessels in which the samples separated and discharged from the column tube are stored.

More specifically, the sample storage unit 113 separates and stores samples separated from the column tube 111. Generally, in the separation of a coloring material, the color of a sample, which is usually separated, If the color of the sample discharged from the column tube 111 is changed or the sample storage tank is filled with more than a certain amount of sample, the sample storage tank should be replaced.

The sample storage unit 113 of the present invention allows the user terminal 10 to remotely control the exchange of the sample storage tank containing the sample extracted from the column tube 111. [

The communication interface 130 provides the image of the column chromatography execution unit 110 taken by the image information collecting unit 120 to the user terminal 10, And receives a control signal.

The camera (IP camera) generally outputs compressed frames compressed by JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group) as IP packets. If necessary, the JPEG compressed image is converted into a video having a higher compression ratio such as H.264 And can be transmitted as a file or stream through the IP network.

At this time, the compression standard of the image compression stream is not limited to a specific standard, and a chunk is formed by segmenting a compressed file of a predetermined size, and the app installed in the user terminal 10 is connected to a separation device 100 using column chromatography ) To request the next chunk before terminating the reproduction of the previous chunk, so that the user can continuously reproduce the moving image on the user terminal 10 (step < RTI ID = 0.0 > .

The image information collecting unit 120 may further include a sample color recognizing unit 122 for analyzing a sample extracted from the column chromatography performing unit 110 based on the image input to the image information collecting unit 120. [ The control unit 140 automatically changes the color of the sample to be sampled, thereby improving the user's convenience.

The method for distinguishing the color of the sample extracted from the column color tube of the sample color recognizing unit is to compare the color of the portion having a specific range at the lower end of the column tube with the color previously inputted to the sample color recognizing unit, The method of recognizing the change of the extracted sample component is used.
