1 Introduction to the Refractive Index Detector
G7162B Refractive Index Detector
Features
• Shorter run times – for considerably higher sample throughput.
• Ultralow dispersion – for improved sample definition and resolution.
• Reduced solvent consumption – for significant savings in analysis cost.
• Ideal tool for polymer analysis – consistent molecular weights, micro or
analytical scale.
• Excellent sensitivity – achieve low limits of detection.
• 148 Hz data rate – even the narrowest distribution peaks can be detected and
accurately quantified.
• Minimized band broadening – high-definition sample profiling.
• Fast startup – advanced low thermal mass design means that initial setup is
typically less than two hours.
• Further time and solvent saving – a recycle valve enables sample to be
recirculated when the sample is not passing through the flow cell.
• Automatic purging of reference flow cell – using programmable purge and
wait times.
• Easy maintenance – convenient front access for maintaining instrument
uptime.
• Early maintenance feedback (EMF) – indicates that preventative maintenance
is due.
• Extensive diagnostics – includes error detection and display with Instant Pilot
controller and Lab Advisor software.
• RoHS compliant – aligned with European Union directives regarding specific
hazardous materials.
