PerSeptive Biosystems Absorbance Detector UVIS-205

The PerSeptive Biosystems 0205-9085 Absorbance Detector, also known as the UVIS-205, is a UV/Vis detector primarily used in High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and other liquid chromatography systems. It's designed to monitor the absorbance of light by eluting compounds, providing a signal proportional to their concentration as they pass through a flow cell. This allows for the detection, identification, and quantification of separated components in a sample. Key features typically include the ability to measure at a wide range of wavelengths in the ultraviolet and visible spectrum, often utilizing a deuterium lamp for UV and a tungsten lamp for visible light. The 0205-9085 designation is a specific part number for the UVIS-205 model, which may sometimes be identified as 5-1085-05. These detectors are crucial for analytical and preparative chromatography applications in various scientific disciplines, including biochemistry, pharmaceutical analysis, and environmental testing.
