Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to set up an HPLC system by adding a fluorescence detector from a different manufacturing company than the HPLC. I have an Agilent HPLC in the lab equipped with a UV detector. However, we have a spare fluorescence detector by Waters that I need to install on my HPLC system.
Kind regards,
Diako
Yes, you often can. It has less to do with what brand and model the other instruments are and more to do with the chromatography software you use to collect and analyze the data with (The "CDS"). Depending on the data output format of the FLD detector and the expected data input format needed by the instrument, you may need to use an A/D converter. The FLD detector's output will need to be connected to the "other" system (this is usually the easy part). *While most detectors can be used in this way, you may not have full software control over FLD excitation and emission wavelengths. Check with your CDS vendor's documentation to find out which FLD it supports and is compatible with.
