1 Introduction

Overview of the Module

The detector is designed for highest optical performance, GLP compliance and

easy maintenance. It includes the following features:

•Maximum of 120 Hz (G7117A/G7117C) or 240 Hz (G7117B) data acquisition

rate.

•Higher sensitivity for conventional LC as well as ultra fast applications by

using next generation optical design.

•Increased sensitivity with 60 mm Max-Light cartridge flow cell.

•Optimized cell geometry for less peak dispersion for narrow bore applications.

•Max-Light cartridge flow cells for standard applications are available, see

“Max-Light Cartridge Flow Cell” on page 15.

•More reliable and robust peak integration process (automated) due to less

baseline noise/drift/refractive index and thermal effects especially under ultra

fast gradient conditions.

•RFID tracking technology is used for the UV-lamp and the Max-Light cartridge

flow cells.

•Multiple wavelength and full spectral detection at 120 Hz

(G7117A/G7117C)/240 Hz (G7117B) sampling rate, keeping up with the

analysis speed of ultra-fast LC.

•Programmable 1 – 8 nm slit (G7117B) or fixed 4 nm slit (G7117A/C) for rapid

optimization of sensitivity, linearity and spectral resolution provides optimum

incident light conditions.

•Improved Electronic temperature control (ETC) provides maximum baseline

stability and practical sensitivity under fluctuating ambient temperature and

humidity conditions.

•Additional diagnostic signals for temperature and lamp voltage monitoring.

•Easy exchange of flow cell by cartridge design.
