The Waters 2410 Refractive Index (RI) Detector is a high-sensitivity, universal detector designed for use in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems. It offers precise detection of compounds that do not absorb UV light, such as sugars, polymers, lipids, and other small molecules. The 2410 is widely used in pharmaceutical, biochemical, and polymer analysis labs.
Key Features:
-
High Sensitivity: Capable of detecting compounds at low concentrations with a wide dynamic range.
-
Stable Baseline: Provides a highly stable baseline ideal for gradient or isocratic elution methods.
-
Universal Detection: Suitable for non-UV-absorbing compounds such as carbohydrates, alcohols, and polymers.
-
Temperature Control: Precise thermal regulation of the optical cell minimizes noise from temperature fluctuations.
-
Wide Compatibility: Integrates easily with Waters Alliance HPLC systems and other third-party systems.
-
Flow Rate Range: 0.2 to 10.0 mL/min, accommodating a variety of HPLC applications.
-
Linearity Range: 0 to 500 µRIU with low drift, allowing accurate quantification.
Typical Applications:
-
Carbohydrate analysis
-
Polymer and oligomer detection
-
Lipid and surfactant profiling
-
Quality control in pharmaceuticals and food products
