Introduction Operating Principle ag-textnode-version-id: 3982632075 ag-textnode-base-id: 3982632075 Operating Principle ag-textnode-version-id: 3358294667 ag-textnode-base-id: 3358294667 Optical System The optical system of the detector is shown in Figure below. Its illumination source is a combination of a deuterium-arc-discharge lamp for the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength range and a tungsten lamp for the visible (VIS) and short-wave near-infrared (SWNIR) wavelength range.
Page 15
Introduction Operating Principle Lamps The light source for the UV-wavelength range is a deuterium lamp with a shine- through aperture. As a result of plasma discharge in low-pressure deuterium gas, the lamp emits light over the 190 nm to approximately 800 nm wavelength range. The light source for the visible and SWNIR wavelength range is a low noise tungsten lamp.
Page 16
Introduction Operating Principle Diode Array The diode array is a series of 1024 individual photodiodes and control circuits located on a ceramic carrier. With a wavelength range from 190 – 950 nm the sampling interval is < 1 nm. Diode Array Detector WR and Multiple Wavelength Detector User Manual...

Optimizing the Performance of the Module Optimizing for Sensitivity, Selectivity, Linearity and Dispersion Anisic acid sample wavelength 252 nm Reference bandwidth 100 nm 30 nm bandwidth Reference wavelength 360 Wavelength (nm) Figure 14: Optimization of Wavelength Setting A wide bandwidth has the advantage of reducing noise by averaging over a wavelength range — compared to a 4 nm bandwidth, the baseline noise is reduced by a factor of approximately 2.5, whereas the signal is about 75 % of a 4 nm wide band.
Optimizing the Performance of the Module Optimizing for Sensitivity, Selectivity, Linearity and Dispersion Because the detector averages absorbance values that are calculated for each wavelength, using a wide bandwidth does not negatively impact linearity. The use of a reference wavelength is highly recommended to further reduce baseline drift and wander induced by room temperature fluctuations or refractive index changes during a gradient.

This gives lower baseline noise as shown in Figure 18 on page 86.
Optimizing the Performance of the Module Optimizing for Sensitivity, Selectivity, Linearity and Dispersion In most cases the width of absorbance bands in the spectrum is more like 30 nm as with anisic acid (Figure 14 on page 84.) In most situations, a slit width of 4 nm will give the best results. Use a narrow slit (1 or 2 nm) if you want to identify compounds with fine spectral structures or if you need to quantify at high concentrations (> 1000 mAU) with a wavelength at the slope of the spectrum.

Optimizing the Performance of the Module Optimizing Selectivity With a UV-visible detector based on a diode array and the correct choice of a reference wavelength setting, quantitative detection is possible. To suppress caffeine, the reference wavelength must be set to 282 nm. At this wavelength, caffeine shows exactly the same absorbance as at 222 nm.
The extra-column volume is minimized with the Agilent InfinityLab LC Series system due to the narrow-bore (0.12 mm i.d.) tubing, the low-volume heat exchangers in the column compartment and the flow cell in the detector.

Appendix Material Information Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) Polyphenylene sulfide has outstanding stability even at elevated temperatures. It is resistant to dilute solutions of most inorganic acids, but it can be attacked by some organic compounds and oxidizing reagents. Nonoxidizing inorganic acids, such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, have little effect on polyphenylene sulfide, but at high concentrations and temperatures, they can still cause material damage.

Appendix Material Information Polyimide Agilent uses semi-crystalline polyimide for rotor seals in valves and needle seats in autosamplers. One supplier of polyimide is DuPont, which brands polyimide as Vespel, which is also used by Agilent. Polyimide is stable in a pH range between 1 and 10 and in most organic solvents. It is incompatible with concentrated mineral acids (e.g.
Page 322
Appendix Material Information • Halogenated solvents or mixtures, which form radicals and/or acids, for example: 2 CHCl → 2 COCl + 2 HCl This reaction, in which stainless steel probably acts as a catalyst, occurs quickly with dried chloroform if the drying process removes the stabilizing alcohol.

Appendix Material Information Fused Silica and Quartz (SiO Fused silica is used in Max Light Cartridges. Quartz is used for classical flow cell windows. It is inert against all common solvents and acids except hydrofluoric acid and acidic solvents containing fluorides. It is corroded by strong bases and should not be used above pH 12 at room temperature.
Appendix Material Information The tubing of the leak sensor is made of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), which is incompatible with the solvent DMF (dimethylformamide). Sapphire, Ruby, and Al -Based Ceramics Sapphire, ruby, and ceramics based on aluminum oxide Al are inert to almost all common acids, bases, and solvents.
