Instrument offers new standards of detection
Wyatt Technology, of Santa Barbara, CA, maker of instruments for absolute macromolecular characterisation, has produced a refractive index (RI) detector - the Optilab rEX. - that is said to have 256 times the detection power and up to 50 times the dynamic range of any other RI detector on the market.
The Optilab rEX is a new generation of instrument that offers a range of features. With a combination of cutting-edge semiconductor photodiode technology and proprietary computer algorithms, the machine has the ability to view the full range of instrument detection at all times, and can determine absolute molecular weights.
The Optilab rEX can also measure the absolute refractive index of a solution at temperatures as low as 4°C or as high as 50°C, and is compatible with all HPLC systems.
