electrochemical detectors for liquid chromatography îerclol LŒC in i Y / 4 system. With over 5000 units installed and the largest research team to support them, it's not surprising that our nearest competitors are several generations behind us. Our thin-layer transducers lead the woy with a wide selection of electrode materials in a variety of interchangeable configurations. The latest members of the family are revealed in the new LC40/17 dual electrode amperometry package. Parallel and series amperometry can enhance selectivity, detection limits, speed and gradient compatibility. Let us show you how it's done, no one else can. Write or call for a detailed assessment of your trace analysis problem.
