Spectra/Chrom® Model 280 UV Detector

The Spectra/Chrom Model 280 UV detector is a fixed wavelength flow-through spectrophotometer specifically engineered for use in chromatography. It features a direct reading digital output and a dual beam optical system that allows the automatic subtraction of a solvent background even in the presence of a rapidly changing gradient.

The Spectra/Chrom Model 280 UV Monitor comes complete with filters for operation at 254 and 280 nm and a dual 5 mm pathlength flow cell.

The Model 280 UV detector may be ordered as part number 142600 ($2558.00) for 115 V (US & Canada) use or as part number 142602 ($2665.00) for 230 V (European) use.

Features of the Model UV Detector Include:

• Dual-beam Optics
• Cold-room Compatible
• Digital Readout
• Detection Limit 3 x 10^-4AU
• 3 Flow Cells available
