Viscotek RImax system components
The Viscotek RImax offers a complete conventional calibration GPC/SEC system suitable for all macromolecular application. It consists of the GPCmax integrated solvent and sample delivery module, an RI detector or a UV detector for concentration measurements and the OmniSEC software for easy analysis. The RImax offers a path for upgrading to triple/tetra detection all with a Viscotek system.
The RImax comes with a choice of concentration detector for macromolecular characterization:
- A UV-Vis detector for protein and other applications where the macromolecules contains chromophores.
- A Refractive Index detector for universal concentration detection.
- Comprehensive characterisation of all types of macromolecules - proteins, natural polymers and synthetic polymers
- Relative molecular weight from conventional calibration
- Correct molecular weight through pseudo-universal calibration
- Copolymer, conjugates and blends can be fully characterised with an RI and a UV detector combined
The RImax system consists of the following standard modules:
Detectors and column oven The concentration detector for the RImax can either be the Viscotek RI differentrial refractometer or the Viscotek UV-Vis detector. The powerful PDA/DAD detector can also be used for additional material identification.
GPCmax™ - combined pump, degasser and autosampler The GPCmax is the world’s leading solvent and sample delivery module exclusively for GPC/SEC applications. Designed by GPC/SEC practitioners to deliver unparalleled robustness and performance for these demanding applications, it provides the reliable and stable chromatographic foundation for the RImax conventional detection system. The GPCmax can be controlled from the front panel or the OmniSEC software. For serious chromatographers, demanding high throughput and the highest reproducibility and accuracy, the GPCmax is the perfect choice.
OmniSEC™ Software OmniSEC is a powerful yet easy to use GPC/SEC software for instrument control, data acquisition, analysis and reporting. It is at the heart of the RImax system providing an integrated solution that helps you maximize the information and efficiency of your experiments. Simply load your samples and the software controls all the sequencing, enabling truly automatic unattended operation.
