Description

Agilent 1260 Infinity II G7162A Refractive Index Detector (RID) Overview

The Agilent 1260 Infinity II G7162A Refractive Index Detector (RID) measures a refractive index range of 1.00 to 1.75 RIU with drift under 200 x 10⁻⁹ RIU/hr, making it well suited to detecting non-UV absorbing compounds such as carbohydrates, lipids, and polymers. Using electronic temperature control (ETC), it maintains a stable optical unit temperature up to 55°C, delivering consistent, reproducible results with minimal baseline drift.

The RID is a strong fit for gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) applications, where refractive index detection is essential for compounds lacking UV chromophores. An 8 µL sample cell with automatic purge and solvent recycle valves keeps operation efficient and minimizes solvent waste, while automatic light intensity adjustment compensates for lamp degradation and flow cell staining over time, reducing maintenance needs.

A maximum data rate of 74 Hz supports high-speed data acquisition even for narrow peaks, and the detector’s thermal design allows for fast start-up, typically ready to use within two hours of installation.

This Agilent 1260 Infinity II G7162A Refractive Index Detector (RID) is offered fully refurbished and tested, in working condition, by Alliant Scientific.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is a Refractive Index Detector (RID) used for?

An RID detects compounds that don’t absorb UV light — such as carbohydrates, lipids, and polymers — by measuring changes in refractive index as they pass through the flow cell, making it a key detector for GPC and SEC applications.

What refractive index range does this detector cover?

1.00 to 1.75 RIU, calibrated, with drift under 200 x 10⁻⁹ RIU/hr.

How long does this detector take to warm up?

Typically less than two hours for initial setup, with warm-up generally under one hour due to its thermal design.

Is this compatible with other 1260 Infinity II modules?

Yes — the G7162A is designed to integrate with the Agilent 1260/1290 Infinity II LC module family.

Does this unit include a warranty?

Yes — this unit ships with a 30-day warranty.
