HAIKU Instruments

GPC / SEC · Multi-detector

Past. Present. Future-proof.

Haiku Instruments is building a quad-detector GPC/SEC system. Refractive index, UV-Vis, light scattering and differential viscometry run in one instrument, from one injection, for absolute molecular weight and structure.

HAIKU SEC · 4-CHIllustrative trace, not measured data
  • LS
  • DP visc
  • dRI
  • UV-Vis

Four detectors. One injection.

Each channel answers a different question about the same slice of sample. Together they remove the dependence on a conventional calibration curve.

dRI

Concentration

Mass at every slice, via dn/dc. The universal reference channel.

UV-Vis

Composition

Chromophore content across the distribution for copolymers and conjugates.

LS

Absolute Mw

Molar mass from scattered light, independent of column standards.

DP visc

[η] and structure

Intrinsic viscosity, Mark-Houwink parameters and long-chain branching.

Legacy support

Bring what you have. Add only what you need.

Know that it will not reach "end of support" because the manufacturer wants to sell you a new one that does the same as the old one, just with a new exterior case.
