 Refractive index response is proportional to
the mass of the eluted material.
 The relative mole was derived by dividing
the relative mass (RI response) by the
corresponding molecular weight.

chromatography. Carbohydrate Research, 283, 151-159.
Cannot determine the individual glucans directly by use of their
peak areas in the chromatogram, as the responses of a pulsed
amperometric detector to glucans having different DPs
were different.
