A device for the extremely sensitive measurement of the refractive index of liquids; used as a detector in liquid chromatography. 2, record 3, English, - differential%20refractometer
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The most universal continuous detector for liquid chromatography is the differential refractometer. This detector is universal only to the extent that one can select an eluent the refractive index of which differs from that of the solutes. Pure eluent flows through one cell of the detector while column effluent flows through the other cell. When a solute with a refractive index different from that of the solvent enters the detector, an imbalance occurs, which is transmitted to the recorder. The differential refractometers are relatively insensitive to trace and minor components, and detector stability is greatly affected by small temperature and flow fluctuations, thus requiring very good flow and temperature controls. 3, record 3, English, - differential%20refractometer

Le réfractomètre différentiel mesure en continu la différence d'indice de réfraction entre la phase mobile et l'effluent de la colonne chromatographique. La limite de détection dépend à la fois de la nature du soluté et de celle de la phase éluante. 2, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9fractom%C3%A8tre%20diff%C3%A9rentiel

Un corollaire de la chromatographie analytique, laquelle est liée aux théories de la séparation, est la possibilité de mesurer des constantes thermodynamiques à l'aide de solutés et de phases stationnaires connus. C'est une méthode en apparence beaucoup plus simple et rapide que les procédés de mesures statiques généralement utilisées pour de telles constantes. Elle nécessite néanmoins de disposer d'appareils plus complexes que ceux employés pour la chromatographie analytique classique. 2, record 4, French, - chromatographie%20analytique
