An HPLC detector is used to analyze the components of the eluted mixture that is collected after being run through an HPLC column. Differences in detector type are based on what is being detected. Detection can be done by measuring absorbance, changes in reflex indices, molecular weight, and fluorescence among others. When selecting a detector, it is important to consider the sample type being analyzed. Some sample types will not work or will have lower sensitivity on particular detectors. Also of consideration is the type of information that is being sought by the analysis and what method will be used when running the column, for example, some detectors will work with the gradient method while others will not.

| Description | The microOptilab™ brings universal detection capabilities, unsurpassed concentration range, and superb sensitivity and linearity to the domain of UHPLC. Key benefits include low band broadening, < 4 µL, to maintain the resolution of very narrow UHPLC peaks. Its dRI measurement range is, - 4The microOptilab™ brings universal detection capabilities, unsurpassed concentration range, and superb sensitivity and linearity to the domain of UHPLC. Key benefits include low band broadening, < 4 µL, to maintain the resolution of very narrow UHPLC peaks. Its dRI measurement range is, - 4.7 x 10-3 to + 4.7 x 10-3 RIU (comparable to 25 mg/mL protein in PBS). The detector is highly sensitive, ± 1.5 x 10-9 RIU, across the entire measurement range. This detector measures solvent refractive index, required for MALS calculations at the same wavelength as the MALS detector, for maximum accuracy. The temperature range of 4°C - 65°C is appropriate for both proteins and polymers that require a range of temperatures. It also features a high-resolution, touch-screen front panel displays data graphs, system health indicators and instrument diagnostics....

The measurement is performed at exactly the same time and in the same sample volume as MALS so Rh and Rg can be compared for particle conformation insights.
Applications include the characterization of the conformation of polymers and biomolecules, detection of protein unfolding, and identification of nanoparticles and vesicles based on shape and structure. One can also use QELS insights to determine optimal chromatography conditions based on molecular conformation.... Read More |
