Wyatt Technology will be using Pittcon 2013 to display an RI detector that it claims is the first of its kind.
The Optilab UT-rEX is specifically designed for use with UHPLC systems using columns packed with small beads and will be exhibted on booth #2133 at Pittcon 2013, Philadelphia, PA, March 17- 21, 2013.
It uses a combination of miniaturized components and cutting-edge semiconductor photodiode technology as well as proprietary computer algorithms
According to Wyatt Technology, besides UV, mass spectrometry and evaporative light scattering, there has been no RI detector available for UHPLC applications until now.
The company said that the linearity of the Optilab UT-rEX over a wide range, coupled with its sensitivity to samples that are not UV active.
Product features
- Dead volume is <1.5µl.
- Along with no range or gain setting, the full range of instrument detection is always present and the full sensitivity exists over the entire range.
- Small flow cell and proprietary temperature regulation enable stable RI baselines and RIS signals which further enhance the detector’s sensitivity.
- Temperature control can be programmed down to 4°C or as high as 50°C.
- The Optilab UT-rEX is compatible with all UHPLC systems.
