Product description

High-sensitivity refractive index detector for HPLC and UHPLC analysis of non-UV-active compounds.

The Shimadzu RID-20A is a high-sensitivity refractive index detector designed for HPLC and UHPLC chromatography. It continuously measures refractive index differences between the sample and reference solution, enabling universal detection of analytes that do not absorb UV light.

  • Suitable for detecting non-UV-active compounds, including sugars, polymers, lipids, and other analytes
  • Provides broad compound detection where UV/Vis detection is unsuitable
  • Designed for stable baselines and low noise
  • Suitable for HPLC and UHPLC analytical workflows in chemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, and polymer analysis
  • Manufactured in Japan
  • Year of manufacture: 2022
  • Serial number: L21465909498
  • Condition: Very good and ready for immediate use

This Shimadzu refractive index detector is suitable for carbohydrate analysis, polymer characterization, lipid analysis, and other chromatography applications requiring RI detection.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
