Introduction to the Refractive Index Detector
G7162A Refractive Index Detector
Features
•
High sensitivity and robust detection with an excellent reproducibility of only
0.1 % RSD
•
Precise temperature control from a5 °C to 55 °C to minimize
baseline drift and optimize compound response
•
Automatic light level adjustment compensates for lamp degradation and flow
cell staining, ensuring optimum performance and lowest maintenance
•
Integrated solvent recycle valve for solvent recycling between runs
•
Programmable reference cell purging (autopurge) and auto-zeroing of the
detector baseline before each run for unattended operation
•
Convenient front access to the flow connections and valves next to the optical
unit
•
Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF) for prior notification of detector
maintenance and continuous tracking of reference flow cell purging with user
settable limits
•
Fast and simple troubleshooting via diagnostic signal data collection
•
Automatic offset adjustment for easy detection and quantification of negative
peaks, and a time-programmable polarity switch for simple inversion of peaks
for ease of integration
•
Excellent linear response for compounds with little or no UV chromaphore in a
wide concentration range
