An automated method for dn/dc determination using a surface plasmon resonance instrument in tandem with a flow injection gradient system (FIG-SPR) is proposed. dn/dc determinations of small molecule and biomolecule, surfactant, polymer, and biopolymer solutions with precision around 1-2% and good accuracy were performed using the new method. dn/dc measurements were also carried out manually on a conventional SPR equipment with similar accuracy and precision. The FIG-SPR instrument is inexpensive and could be easily coupled to commercially available SPR and liquid chromatography instruments to obtain several properties of the solutions, which are based on measurements of refractive index.
