Technical booklet provides an introduction to the theory of refractive index detection and provides a background to the most commonly used batch and chromatographic modes of operation
A new technical booklet from Viscotek explores the principles of measurement and operation of the most common GPC concentration detector in use today, the deflection refractometer or refractive index detector.
Written by Max Haney, an internationally acknowledged authority in the field of natural and synthetic polymer characterisation by GPC, the booklet was produced in response to a growing requirement from scientists for a short and unbiased introduction to the analytical techniques they use.
The technical booklet provides an introduction to the theory of refractive index detection and then leads the reader through a background to the most commonly used batch and chromatographic modes of operation.
The advantages and disadvantages of the alternative modes of operation are discussed and the areas where they provide most utility precisely illustrated with applications examples and proved with mathematical theory.
