Primary Function: An Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) system equipped with a PhotoDiode Array (PDA) detector for sensitive detection and quantification of sample analytes, especially for identifying components difficult to resolve by conventional HPLC.
Technical Specifications:
- Model: Acquity UPLC with PDA detector
- Manufacturer: Waters
- Detection Capabilities: Detection and quantification of very low concentrations of sample analytes, comparison of spectra across wavelengths and broad concentration ranges.
- Trace Impurity Quantification: Quantitates trace impurities at levels to 0.004 with low signal-to-noise ratios, high optical and digital resolution.
- Separation: Achieves separations with flexible parameter control and sampling rates for accurate, reproducible integration.
- Sensitivity: Efficient light transmission for maximum sensitivity.
- Operation: Simultaneous 2D and 3D operation in either Empower or MassLynx Software.
- Wavelength Range: 190 to 500 nm.
- Linearity: Up to 2.0 AU without compromising linearity.
Applications: Identification of components, trace impurity analysis, pharmaceutical research, environmental analysis, food safety.
