RID-10A Refractive Index Detector
The RID-10A, as an important extension of the LC-10A HPLC Series, offers a compact, modular design and may be used stand-alone to complement an existing HPLC system, or connected to other Shimadzu LC-10A Series components via fiber optic cables for "plug-and-play" convenience.
The RID-10A offers a unique, patented 4-partition photodiode technology (US Patent No. 5398, 110, March 14, 1995) that offers excellent linearity over a wide concentration range. It provides three operating modes for versatility over many applications:
The RID-10A differential refractive index detector has many strong, productivity-enhancing features including a double temperature-controlled housing to minimize baseline drift and enable fast instrument warm-up. The optical bench is thermostatted for superior baseline stability and has a built-in overheat protection feature.
The RID-10A offers GMP / GLP support with a Certificate of Compliance and Hardware validation protocols. System checks include automatic optical balance adjustment, a ROM /RAM memory check, a ROM version indication, and a display of lamp hours and lamp energy.

Features of RID-10A
- Short Warm-up Time The double temperature controlled housing of the optical system dramatically improved warm-up time for detector stabilization. You no longer must wait several hours for baseline stability.* Broad application range - from Analytical to Preparative scale HPLC Thanks to the patented, 4-partition detector design (US Patent No.5398,110), Shimadzu's RID-10A provides high sensitivity refractive index detection in 3 modes without compromising linearity. Whether you are performing Analytical, Semi-preparative, or preparative analyses, this unit will satisfy your needs. The 3 modes of operation are: A mode: Used in highly sensitive analytical HPLC P mode: Used in analytical HPLC and semi-preparative HPLC (~20 mL/min.) L mode: Used in large-scale preparative HPLC, using an optional flow selection block (~150 mL/min.)* GLP/GMP Compliance Daily checks and log-keeping can be automated. The standard validation documents such as Certificate of Compliance and Hardware Validation SOP are provided to facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements.* Enhanced Safety Features A leak sensor is provided as a standard feature to guard against solvent leakage in the detector. An optional relief valve is also available to protect the flow cell and detector from accidental over-pressure conditions.* Standard "Plug-and-Play" simplicity As with all of Shimadzu's LC-VP and Prominence modules, the RID-10A may be linked via unique fiber optic connections to the centralized System Controller (SCL-10AVP or CBM-20A). This facilitates the convenience of interfacing and operation.
