ProStar 230 UV/Visible Detector – Varian's solution for reliable and scalable chromatographic detection
The ProStar 230 detector is an instrument designed to meet the demands of modern laboratories for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It offers exceptional accuracy in UV/Visible detection, enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis of compounds in a wide range of concentrations. Thanks to its modular design and user-friendly interfaces, this detector integrates seamlessly into existing systems or automated measurement chains.
The technology integrated into the ProStar 230 is based on optimised optical path and interference reduction, ensuring excellent sensitivity and long-term stability. It is equipped with state-of-the-art optical cells and high-quality components such as filters, borosilicate or polystyrene glass lenses, and a long-life light source. Its integrated temperature control system also helps to ensure consistent performance, even during prolonged analyses.
Used in research, pharmaceutical, environmental and food environments, the ProStar 230 can detect active compounds with high accuracy, particularly in highly variable mobile phases. Its compatibility with Varian synchronisation modules (including SDM 220/240) allows for optimal coordination between the pump, detector and control software. It is also equipped with visual safety systems and UV radiation protection, ensuring safe use.
Ease of maintenance is another major advantage of this detector. Varian supplies a wide range of replacement kits and accessories to ensure the longevity of the device, including piston seals, inlet valves and solvent filters. High-sensitivity kits are also available for applications requiring pulsation-free flow, such as interfaces with mass spectrometers or electrochemical detectors.
The ProStar 230 is much more than a UV/Visible detector. It is a robust, reliable and scalable tool that meets the needs of the most demanding chromatographic analyses, while delivering performance and safety.
