title: HPLC/circular dichroism detection using a split-type flow cell for polarized photometric detector.
abstract: HPLC/circular dichroism detection using a conventional spectrophotometric detector has been established. A split-type flow cell developed for a polarized photometric detector, which is a non-modulated polarimeter, was inserted into this detector. When two rays of circularly polarized light with opposite rotational senses to each other were incident in both cells by combining a polarizer and a 1/4 wave retarder in front of the cell assembly, the output from this spectrophotometric detector became solely the signal based on circular dichroism. Selective detection of a chiral analyte, in which the ratio of the difference in the absorbance between two rays mentioned above and the absorbance by normal rays in over 1/1000, is feasible using the proposed instrument.
