Refractive Index Detector (RI)
The RI-Detector RefractoFlow 2030 Differential Refractive Index Detector series offers the sensitivity, stability and reproducibility required for optimal RI detection. The thermal isolated optic with a countercurrent heat exchanger and with its programmable temperature control results in an extremely stable baseline and an optimal Signal/Noise ratio. The RF 2030 series provide autopurge and autozero capabilities, as well as RS232 and LAN communication to acquire data directly without using any external signal interface. The detector can be programmed, controlled and used manually by keypad or together with the software
Clarity® or ChromStar®.
