Abstract: An absorbance detector for a chromatograph includes a light source, a flow cell that receives light generated by the light source, a photodetector that detects light transmitted through the flow cell, a light shield member that shields a least part of the light generated from the light source to the flow cell, a motor that rotates the light shield member to change the light shield member between a light-shielding state where the light shield member shields at least part of the light generated from the light source to the flow cell and a non-light-shielding state where the light shield member does not shield the light generated from the light source to the flow cell, and a reference position detector that rotates the motor and also acquires a change in amount of light received by the photodetector to detect a reference position of the light shield member in a rotation direction of the light shield member based on the acquired change in the amount of the received light.

Abstract: An optical part (2) including a measurement cell (12), a light source part (10) that emits light to be emitted to the measurement cell (12), a light receiving element (14), and a shutter (18) that shields light to the light receiving element (14), a storage part (6), a controller (4), and a calculator (8). The optical part (2) includes a temperature control element (26) for adjusting a temperature of the optical part (2), the controller (4) is configured to control the temperature control element (26) so that a temperature of the optical part (2) becomes a target temperature which is set in advance, and to execute, at least in a case where a measured value of the dark current at the target temperature is not stored in the storage part (6), measurement of the dark current immediately after a transition from an unstable state to a stable state, the storage part (6) stores a measured value of the dark current acquired in the measurement, and the calculator is configured to continuously use a same measured value of the dark current in the calculation processing while the stable state of the temperature of the optical part continues.

Abstract: An ion chromatography analysis system includes a system monitoring part being configured to detect an abnormality, to determine, based on a fluctuation rate in a certain time of the predetermined state of a most recent of the monitor value, whether the fluctuation is a short-term fluctuation that occurs in a short term or a long-term fluctuation that occurs in a long term, and to identify a cause of the abnormality by using whether the fluctuation is the short-term fluctuation or the long-term fluctuation.
