  • Works with virtually any fraction collector
  • The only detector on the market to feature three simultaneous data acquisition techniques:
    • Fixed length UV at 250 nm and 280 nm – blue and green traces,
    • Refractive index at 250 nm – red trace,
    • Conductivity/Proton mobility – yellow trace.
  • Groundbreaking flow cell and electrode technologies render saturation virtually impossible for the first time
  • UV LED light sources provide over a decade of function while eliminating warm-up time.
  • Durable anodized titanium case and shielded display combine a sleek, modern design with near-total solvent-resistance.
  • Included universal adapter makes attachment to any column or cartridge effortless – glass, FPLC, HPLC.
  • Data is recorded to your USB drive in a simple format exportable to software of your choice.
  • Optimized internal geometry provides both a minimal hydrodynamic resistance and a rapid flow rate of up to 300 ml/min.
  • All in a small, lightweight device – 7.5” x 5.25” x 2.25” (3 lb).
preparative flash chromatography detector RD4-250-280-RI

Meet the First Detector Ever with True Flash Separation Capabilities

No matter how high the concentration of your elutant, you can remain confident that you will NEVER saturate the UV channels of RD4-250-280-RI. At last, you will be able to see true analyte peaks as they leave your column at high concentrations optimal for you, not your detector. Unlike other detectors, the chromatogram of RD4-250-280-RI never plateaus, so you never need to use so much silica (5-30 times the optimal amount) that your separation becomes sub-par. No more waste of
