Agilent 1200 Series HPLC Refractive Index Detector (G1362A) (Bazaar)

The Agilent 1200 Series Refractive Index Detector (RID) G1362A is a high-performance detector designed for applications requiring precise and reliable refractive index measurements. This specialized detector is ideal for the analysis of non-UV-absorbing compounds, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and polymers, commonly used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. By leveraging advanced optical technologies and a robust design, the G1362A ensures accurate results across a broad range of operating conditions.

The detector offers features such as automatic solvent recycling, optical zeroing, and precise temperature control for the optics, ensuring stable baselines and low noise levels. Integrated with the Agilent 1200 Series Control Module and supported by Agilent ChemStation software, it provides a user-friendly interface for method development, data evaluation, and diagnostics. Its rugged build and advanced diagnostics make it a reliable choice for high-throughput laboratories.
