Overview
The Waters ACQUITY UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography
(ACQUITY UPC
2
™) photodiode array (PDA) detector is an ultraviolet- and
visible-wavelength (UV/Vis) spectrophotometer designed for use in the
ACQUITY UPC
2
system. Empower™ or MassLynx™ software can control the
detector for LC/MS and LC applications.
With a photodiode array of 512 photodiodes and an optical resolution of
1.2 nm, the detector operates within the range 190 to 800 nm.
To use the detector’s operating software effectively, you must understand the
principles that underlie operation of its optics and electronics.
