This document introduces the performance of the Agilent 1200 Series diode-array detector (DAD) using different detector cells and different data rates up to 80 Hz.
This document evaluates the performance of the Agilent 1200 Series diode-array detector (DAD) SL, specifically focusing on its new design elements introduced in 2006. It demonstrates the capabilities of the detector using two new detector cells and data rates up to 80 Hz, which are optimized for high-speed and high-resolution liquid chromatography applications.
| Limit of detection (Anthracene) | 0.6 pg |
|---|---|
| Flow cell volume options | 2 µL, 5 µL, 13 µL |
| Column temperature range | up to 100 °C |
The maximum data rate is 80 Hz, which is needed for peak widths of less than 0.3 s.
Compared to a 20-Hz data rate, the 80 Hz rate results in a 30 % gain in resolution and a 40 % gain in peak capacity.
