Four wavelengths simultaneously, display, keypad,
4 analog outputs, scan of whole spectrum 190-840nm
Flash 10 DAD 800 is an UV-VIS diode array detector (PDA,DAD), which allows measuring absorbance of four wavelengths simultaneously in one cell just as measuring of whole spectrum (scan). More wavelengths are used in liquid chromatography to verify purity of analyzed samples or in situations when some peaks absorb on different wavelengths. It is possible to use the detector in flash and preparative applications.
It is possible to control the detector manually by keyboard and display but also by RS232. At the back panel are available four analog outputs.
