HPLC Conductivity Detector

HPLC conductivity detectors measure the change in electrical conductivity resulting from the presence of ions in the eluent or mobile phase of an HPLC allowing for the quantification of ions and charged compounds. With uses in pharmaceutical, environmental, food and beverage, and numerous other industries, HPLC conductivity detectors enable analysts to conduct ion chromatography with a standard HPLC. When considering an HPLC conductivity detector some key specifications to keep in mind are sensitivity, range, linearity, and noise level as these affect both the detection limits and the overall accuracy of the analysis. Also, ensure that the detector is compatible with the mobile phase that your laboratory uses for its chromatography analysis.
