Abstract

An improved system (100), resonator flow detector (102) and method for characterizing a fluid sample that includes o injecting a fluid sample into a mobile phase of a flow characterization system (106), and detecting a property of the fluid sample > or of a component thereof with a flow detector (102) comprising a mechanical resonator (120), preferably one that is operated at a frequency less than about 1 MHz, such as tuning fork resonator.
