Fluorescence Detector

The FLD-3000 is a high-sensitivity fluorescence detector series for the UltiMate® 3000 HPLC systems. It is available in Rapid Separation (200 Hz) and Standard (100 Hz) versions. The optics of the FLD-3000 Series provide maximum stray light suppression for unrivaled detection sensitivity. Innovative technologies supply various tools for individual method development, such as 2D or 3D synchro, excitation, or emisssion scans, zero order mode, or multichannel acquisition. Operated with the Chromeleon® Chromatography Data System software, the detector provides automated qualification, performance optimization, and instrument wellness monitoring for ease of use, maximum uptime, and the highest degree of regulatory compliance.

  • Data collection at up to 200 Hz for optimal support of even the shortest UHPLC separations.
  • Lowest limits of detection with a Raman S/N: > 550 ASTM (> 2100 using dark signal as noise reference).
  • Unsurpassed reproducibility with active flow cell temperature-control for stable fluorophore activity independent from changes in ambient temperature.
  • Long-life xenon flash lamp for highest sensitivity and long-term operation without the need for frequent lamp changing.
  • Optional second photomultiplier for unique Dual-PMT operation offering an extended wavelength range up to 900 nm without sacrificing sensitivity in the standard wavelength range.
  • 2D or 3D excitation, emission, or synchro scans provide the highest degree in flexibility for method development or routine sample characterization.
  • Innovative Variable Emission Filter for real-time compound-related sensitivity optimization (FLD-3400RS only).
  • Large front-panel display for easy monitoring of the detector status.
  • Flow cell syringe injection kit as a cost-effective solution to perform an off-line measurement.
  • Optimized flow cell design ideal for trace analysis in combination with narrow-bore UHPLC columns and conventional HPLC columns.
  • Full regulatory compliance with automated qualification period monitoring and automatic tracking of flow cells.
