Meet the alternative
with a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) detector
for Gas Chromatography

VUV

VUV system is compliant with ASTM D8071/D8267/D8368/D8369/D8519. Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopic detectors can provide a new dimension of chemical analysis accuracy for hydrocarbon analysis. VUV light creates unique spectral signatures in the gas phase that result in unambiguous compound identification and quantitative analysis across a wide spectrum of complex applications.

What is Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) Detector

The VUV (Vacuum Ultraviolet) detector is designed to collect absorption spectrum of compounds eluted from GC in the wavelength range of 120 nm to 240 nm (vacuum ultraviolet region). It consists of a deuterium lamp, flow cell, grating device and detection device. Hydrocarbons, such as fuels, have strong absorption in the range of 115 nm to 185 nm (due to σ→σ* and π→→π* transitions), making the VUV detector an ideal choice for fuel analysis.

The VUV wavelength region is typically characterized by significant background absorption. Traditionally, very high-energy photons generated by a synchrotron facilities were used to obtain VUV spectrum. The VGA-100/101 VUV detector minimizes background absorption to an exceptional degree, enabling easy acquisition of VUV spectrum.
