Employing just a single refractive index detector, the GPC/SEC system has proven exceptionally reliable, running continuously with very little downtime. Because of the improved quality and consistency of their final product and vastly reduced waste the investment in the GPC/SEC system paid off very quickly. Operating from room temperature up to 80°C, with high thermal stability, the Testa Analytical Differential Refractive Index (DRI) detector offers highly accurate and reliable determination of absolute concentration and total mass balance in GPC/SEC applications.
