Multiple wavelength detector
IR5 MCT Polymer Char

Highly Sensitive Infrared Detector for Concentration and Composition Analysis in GPC/HPLC.

IR5 MCT is a stand-alone infrared detector with a flow through cell, which incorporates interference filters at five different wavelengths and a highly sensitive thermoelectrically cooled MCT detector.

IR5 MCT is designed for on-line concentration and composition determination in HPLC, Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC-GPC) or coupled to other separation techniques such as CRYSTAF, TREF, CEF or CFC.

When attached to a high temperature GPC for the analysis of polyolefins, the IR5 MCT detector provides excellent sensitivity and baseline stability in both concentration and composition (branch content) signals. Coupling an IR5 MCT to a GPC instrument, is an ideal combination for measuring very low number of branches in HDPE pipe resins thanks to its high sensitivity, which is able to distinguish differences of 1 branch per 1,000 atoms of carbon.

IR5 MCT detector incorporates a vapor leak sensor close to the flow through cell and internal temperature controllers for the heated cell and transfer line, to allow its use for high temperature applications.
