The FLR 2475 fluorescence detector: an essential tool for developing fluorescence methods
The Waters 2475 fluorescence detector offers unrivalled sensitivity for quantifying low concentrations of target compounds, whether naturally fluorescent or labelled with a fluorescent tag. This device stands out for its ability to perform 3D and "on-the-fly" spectral scans, allowing the optimal emission and excitation wavelengths to be determined. It can monitor up to four independent wavelength pairs, making it an indispensable tool for the development of fluorescence methods.
The unique axial illumination flow cell design of the Waters 2475 minimises dispersion and background noise while effectively doubling the cell path length. This provides increased sensitivity, which is essential for detecting trace contaminants in environmental and food samples. The reliability and accuracy of this instrument are further enhanced by features such asauto gain optimisation and wavelength accuracy verification, ensuring reproducible results from day to day and bench to bench.
The Waters 2475 is controlled by Empower software, which offers real-time spectral scanning capabilities and time event programming to optimise sensitivity. This software also transforms raw data into actionable reports, with customisable visualisation, archiving and reporting features. In addition, the detector is designed for simplified user maintenance, with a front-mounted, self-aligning flow cell and lamp, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
In terms of performance, the Waters 2475 excels in the analysis of compounds such as aflatoxins and carbamates, thanks to its low dispersion and high sensitivity. It is compatible with a wide range of column sizes and can be used stand-alone or integrated into an HPLC system, offering maximum flexibility and reliability.
