The VUV-14 is a high sensitivity fixed wavelength light absorbance monitor designed for chromatography. It is a true dual beam instrument utilizing a low pressure mercury light souce and narrow band pass filter arrangement that provides a 254nm wavelength.
The VUV-14 has a broad line of sample cells available. These include cells designed for on column capillary monitoring, standard and high flow 5 mm and 10 mm path length HPLC cells, and preparative LC.
VUV-14

High Sensitivity
The VUV-14 series of detectors has a high-resolution analog output with sensitivity range from 4.0 AU/V to 0.0005 AU/V and feature a state-of-the-art noise level of less than +/-0.00001 AU
Reliable, Rugged, Low Maintenance Design
The VUV-14 is constructed with a high reliability lamp, true double beam sample/reference light paths and a robust universal power supply. A rugged tactile feedback keypad for instrument control is standard.
