Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-Series VWD Variable Wavelength Detector P/N 070220
***VWD is preowned with minimal wear from normal use. Unit powers on without errors, will need to be connected to software to fully test. (Instrument does not include flow cell.) See photos for further details.
The Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS Series Variable Wavelength Detector (Dionex VWD) is a high-quality instrument designed for IC analysis applications requiring a UV-Vis detector and for LC analysis applications requiring an inert (PEEK) flow path. The Dionex VWD can be used with the following Thermo Scientific Dionex systems: the ICS-5000 (analytical systems only), ICS-2100, ICS-1600, ICS-1100, and ICS-900 (as well as some legacy systems). The Dionex VWD can be used in numerous laboratory environments for routine analysis, as well as for sophisticated research tasks.
Two versions of the Dionex VWD are available: a single-channel version (P/N 070220) and a four-channel version (P/N 070221).
The detector is a dual-beam, variable-wavelength photometer with one measurement and one internal reference beam.
Two light sources, a deuterium lamp for ultraviolet detection and a tungsten lamp for visible and near-infrared wavelength detection, provide a wavelength detection range from 190 to 900 nm.
The four-channel detector measures at up to four wavelengths, by indexing between wavelengths several times per
The wavelength accuracy can be verified via the built-in holmium oxide filter.
The detector is controlled with a PC (personal PC)
Running Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP and either the Thermo Scientific Dionex Chrome Leon 7 Chromatography Data System or Chrome Leon 6.8 Chromatography Data System. Chrome Leon 7 and Chrome Leon 6.8 also provide data acquisition and data processing functions.
NOTE Thermo Scientific Dionex Chrome Leon Xpress software can provide real-time control and monitoring of the detector but does not include data management capabilities.
