Compatible up to 220ºC

Controllable up to 220ºC. Applicable to polymers like PPS, which dissolve in organic solvent at only high temperature in addition to polyethylene and polypropylene.

Stable Baseline

Refractive index detector (RI detector), which consists of double path & double flow system improved its stability by optimization of temperature control system for optical block.

High-speed Start-up

High-speed start-up is realized by built-in heater dedicated for RI detector. GPC measurement can be started in 3 hours under the condition of ODCB solvent at 145ºC.

Well Organized Safety System

As the GPC system is safety considered, auto-lock doors are equipped to column oven and auto-sampler. Duct for local ventilation also is equipped in Auto-sampler unit.

Easy Operation

Using GPC workstation ‘8321GPC-WS’, the system can be easily operated through warm-up, analysis and shut-down.

The main unit can also be independently controlled using operator panel on the hardware.

Report can be customized by report/layout system in the software.

Global Standard

Compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11*

Sample preparation system
DF-8321
Part # 0023801

 DF-8321 is a sample pretreatment system dedicated to
high temperature GPC system HLC-8321GPC/HT.
The system dissolves and filtrate target samples at a
time, which is cumbersome work in general and improves
working efficiency.

GPC Workstation
8321GPC-WS
Part # 0023802,  OS：Windows® 7（32bit）

The GPC Workstation 8321GPC-WS comprises system control and data analysis software for use withHLC-8321GPC/HT.

Using USB connections, two systems can be controlled and used for analysis.

This software provides molecular weight analysis with excellent operability and high precision and allows ease of use without changing the essential concepts of analysis.

  

Easy Operation

Setting of items is simplified by introducing the concept of the PROJECT. In addition, the data management and analysis screens are integrated for enhanced operability. 		 

USB Connection

USB connection allows realtime data acquisition. No interface board is necessary.

Compliant with
FDA 21 CFR PART 11

Authentication with user ID and password, logout method, and software validation are designed to be easily set by the user.

  

Multiple Word® Report Formats and Print Layouts

8 kinds of standard format are available for chromatogram reports. The chromatogram scale and output items can be changed as required. Print formats from other computers can be imported. The print layout can also be changed.

Acquisition Application:

    
Flow Diagram
Realtime display allows system status monitoring and easy on-screen operation. The display differs depending on the operating status of the device.
   Monitor
As well as RI signal, various types of information can be monitored from the system in real time. All information can be monitored on a multi-axial display to allow easy and clear viewing of analysis status.
