Wyatt has launched its Optilab T-rex Refractive Index (RI) detection instrument for absolute macromolecular characterisation, providing detection and sensitivity across the entire dynamic range.
The instrument is said to have 256 times the detection power and up to 50 times the dynamic range of any RI detector currently on the market and has the ability to measure large and small signals within the same data run.
The range of the Optilab T-rex enables it to be used in almost any standard isocratic chromatographic conditions and for many gradient applications.
Recent developments in heterojunction light-emitting diodes (LEDs) allow the T-rex to have a light source 50 times brighter than previous instrumentation, resulting in faster light filling of the detector array.
The instrument also offers high-speed data acquisition and includes an onboard computer, allowing the rapid scanning of arrays, with 1 million measurements made every second.
The T-rex also has a flow cell with a total volume of 7.4uL, enabling minimised band broadening and better temperature stability.
