Waters 2998 Photodiode Array (PDA) HPLC Detector 186002998

The Waters 2998 Photodiode Array (PDA) Detector, part number 186002998, is a diode array HPLC detector designed for Waters purification and modular liquid chromatography systems, including the 2695 and 2795 platforms. It supports compound identification, trace impurity detection, method development, and quantitative spectral analysis.

Key Features

• Patented TaperSlit flow cell for high sensitivity and optimized spectral performance
• Low-noise performance of <10 µAU
• Wide linear dynamic range with constant optical bandpass
• Simultaneous quantification of high- and low-level components in a single chromatographic separation
• Flexible sampling rates from 1 to 80 Hz for normal and fast LC separations
• Independent optimization of sampling rate and time constant
• Compound identification and co-elution detection
• Spectral exposure optimization across the wavelength range
• Single Deuterium lamp with lamp optimization for signal-to-noise performance over lamp lifetime
• Console software for control, monitoring, and diagnostics
• Thermal wander management for baseline stability
• Flow cell configurations available for different separation scales and applications
• Supports simultaneous 2D and 3D operation

This Waters PDA detector is suitable for pharmaceutical analysis, biotechnology workflows, molecular characterization, impurity profiling, and routine HPLC quality-control applications. Its spectral detection capabilities are useful for method development and compound analysis in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
