Diode Array Detector

The Rapid Separation Diode Array Detector (DAD-3000RS) is one of the powerful detection options for the UltiMate® 3000 Rapid Separation LC System and can collect data at a rate of up to 100 Hz, with full wavelength spectra acquisition. The narrowest peak can be detected reliably—even 10 peaks in 10 seconds are no problem!

Achieve a new level of flexibility for routine operation or for method development with up to eight channels of single-wavelength data acquisition together with 3D data. The DAD-3000RS features noise and drift performance specifications previously only available in forward-optic detectors, a 1024 element diode array, and 1 nm resolution. This resolution allows you to distinguish between closely related UV-VIS spectra, and the comprehensive set of 3D data tools in the Chromeleon® Chromatography Management Software makes it easy to process and report your data.

  • Data collection rates of up to 100 Hz allow detection and characterization of even the sharpest peaks [more]
  • Low noise (< ±8 µAU) and drift (<1 mAU/h) guarantee high sensitivity
  • Front access to pre-aligned cells and lamps simplifies routine maintenance and therefore minimizes instrument downtime. Both the lamps and the flow cell feature an ID chip for tracking of all relevant parameters.
  • The flow cell range covers micro- and analytical flow rate applications. Cells are also available in a biocompatible design.

The Diode Array Detector is also available in a standard version with up to 20 Hz data collection rate (DAD-3000). All other specifications are as for the rapid separation version. This detector perfectly supports conventional HPLC applications.
