Utilizing a newly designed optical system, the RF-20A and RF-20Axs offer world-class levels of sensitivity.
RF-20A/RF-20Axs
Fluorescence Detector
World-class sensitivity meets diverse needs
The excellent basic performance of the Prominence series is further enhanced by the RF-20A/RF-20Axs fluorescence detectors, which offer world-class sensitivity, excellent ease of maintenance, and validation support functions. They support a wide range of applications from conventional analysis to high-performance analysis.
Features
-
-
The fluorescence intensity drops as the temperature rises. A fluctuation of about 1°C near room temperature may result in approximately 5% intensity fluctuations for some compounds. -
Fast response is required to follow the sharp peaks obtained by ultra-fast analysis. The 10 ms response of the RF-20A and RF-20Axs permits ultra-fast analysis with no loss of separation. -
The Xenon lamp and flow cell can be replaced at the front panel. No positional adjustment is required when replacing the Xenon lamp, and no tools are required to replace the flow cell.

Biodegradable Plastics
In order to reduce plastic waste, the development of eco-friendly alternative materials is being promoted. As an alternative, biomass plastics and biodegradable plastics are becoming more widely available. Biodegradable Plastics are plastics that are decomposed into low-molecular compounds by microorganisms in the environment. So they break down easily in nature, which is an opposite characteristic of petroleum-based plastics.

Shimadzu has updated the i-Series, High Performance Liquid Chromatograph
Amid increasing calls for improved work efficiency and a more flexible working style, ideas of LC analysis are changing. The time has come for an HPLC that delivers rugged, reliable results with less frequent interaction by the analyst. The new, integrated i-Series LC system maintains the excellent performance of its predecessor while addressing the need for automation efficiency.
