Shimadzu SPD-10A VP UV-Visible Detector for VP Series HPLC Systems

The Shimadzu SPD-10A VP UV-visible detector functions as a system controller for the Shimadzu VP Series HPLC system, enabling centralized control of all VP Series modules connected via fiber optic interfaces for plug-and-play setup. It is backward compatible with previous Shimadzu systems and features user-friendly single-point control through an easy-to-read, menu-driven display. The detector offers high sensitivity and low noise for reliable peak detection across a wide wavelength range.
