Waters - 410
Manufactured by Waters
Waters 410 Refractometer is designed for HPLC and GPC applications. Particularly suited for determining the molecular weight distribution of polymers.
Waters 410 Refractometer is designed for HPLC and GPC applications. This detector is particularly suited for determining the molecular weight distribution of polymers or carbohydrates in food products. The temperature-controlled optics and the patented countercurrent heat exchanger increase baseline stability for reproducible results. The 410 can be operated on its own or programmed from a waters controller.
