It is used in laboratories to analyze substance mixtures. In an HPLC system, the detector serves to detect substances in liq- uids and show their concentration. In laboratories the device can be used in the following areas: Separation of chiral substances KNAUER 10D User Manual V7670, Version 2.3...
A test cell is preassembled to the detector. Before the detector can be used, the test cell has to be replaced by a flow cell. The fiber optics detector is delivered without a test cell. KNAUER 10D User Manual V7670, Version 2.3...
Even small quantities of other substances, such as additives, modifiers, or salts can influence the durability of the materials. The solvent list contains the solvents KNAUER recommends for use. If there is any doubt, contact the Technical Support of the manufacturer.
