Adding spectral conformation to your absorbance detection while maintaining high sensitivity and a wide linear dynamic range can be a challenge. The Waters 2998 Photodiode Array (PDA) Detector is designed to do just that while complementing your LC and LC-MS systems.
The uniquely integrated software and optics innovations of the 2998 PDA Detector deliver no-compromise chromatographic and spectral sensitivity and noise specification as low as 10 μAU. For routine analyses, the 2998 PDA Detector is reliable and easy-to-use, with enhanced software control for simultaneous 2D and 3D operation with either Empower or MassLynx Software – making it the ideal detector for any lab application, from compound identification to method development.
Overview
