  • UV, VIS, and PDA Detectors. Refractive-Index Detector.
  • UV, VIS, and PDA Detectors.
  • Refractive-Index Detector.
  • Evaporative Light Scattering Detector.
  • Multi-Angle Light Scattering Detector.

What is RI detector in HPLC?

HPLC Refractive Index Detectors (HPLC RI Detectors) are used with high-pressure liquid chromatographs when detecting substances with limited or no UV absorption. These chemical components included alcohols, sugars, fatty acids, polymers and carbohydrates.

What is a TUV detector?

The ACQUITY UPLC® Tunable UV (TUV) Detector is a tunable, dual wavelength ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) detector that offers optimal linearity, resolution and sensitivity for UPLC®/UV separations.

Why are PDA detectors used?

Diode-Array Detection (DAD) or Photodiode-Array Detection (PDA) is an analytical technique that can be used to determine the purity of an analyte or related impurity peak eluting during an HPLC separation.

What is DRI detector?

A differential refractometer (DRI), or refractive index detector (RI or RID) is a detector that measures the refractive index of an analyte relative to the solvent. They are often used as detectors for high-performance liquid chromatography and size exclusion chromatography.

How many types of HPLC detectors are there?

UV,VIS,and PDA Detectors. Refractive-Index Detector.

  • UV,VIS,and PDA Detectors. The UV,VIS,and PDA detectors are categorized as absorbance detectors.
  • Refractive-Index Detector.
  • Evaporative Light Scattering Detector.
  • Multi-Angle Light Scattering Detector.
  • Mass Spectrometer.
  • Conductivity Detector.
  • Fluorescence Detector.
  • Which is more sensitive Dector in HPLC vWD or PDA?

    the MWD is a PDA optics. the VWD is a monochromator. the sensitivity of the MWD is way smaller then that of a VWD because of that, the PDA optic type creates a lot more noise hence your problem of method transfer. try reducing the “speed” at which you collect data, it might help. increase the bandwidth used for collecting the data.

    What is an universal detector for HPLC?

    • Refractive Index Detector: Refractive index is the universal detector in HPLC because of its detection capabilities, RI Detectors measure the refractive index of (analytes) column eluent passing through the flow cell it is based on the two principal one is deflection and another is a reflection type refractometer.

    What is the difference between HPLC and UV detector?

    HPLC UV/Visible detectors are used with high performance liquid chromatography to detect and identify analytes in the sample.The analyte can be identified by measuring the sample’s absorption of light at different wavelengths. The UV absorbance differs depending on what wavelength is used.
