Product News: Discover the Cecil Instruments’ Electrochemical Detection, Adept HPLC System

01 Jun 2016

With an ever-increasing focus on the detection of multi-ranges of contaminants and pollutants, to higher sensitivities of detection, analytical chemists are placed under increasing pressures.

For analytes which may be reduced or oxidized, sensitivities of 10 –15 mol are achievable with ease and simplicity, using a Cecil Electrochemical Detection Adept HPLC System.

Hence trace level detection of many water contaminants, such as some residual toiletries and pesticides; and electroplating, mining, fracking and semi-conductor effluent analytes, is possible.

The electrochemical detection Adept HPLC System is high specification, extremely low drift and ultra-low noise, robust, reliable and modular.  It includes an electrochemical detector, 21 CFR part 11 compliance PowerStream software, an isocratic pump, and a column heater/chiller, with an optional autosampler.

The high stability temperature controlled electrochemical detector, may be used in three modes, DC, scanning DC and pulsed amperometric.  Gold, glassy carbon, silver and platinum working electrodes may be used, together with a choice of reference electrodes. 

The detector may also be used with Cecil Q-Adept HPLC and IonQuest Ion Chromatography systems, plus many third party liquid chromatography systems.

With the options of AutoQuest autosamplers, a wide range of additional detectors, post column reactors and customized configurations, EPA compliance is available.
