The MD-2018 is new PDA detector for HPLC which is equipped with 1024-element photodiode array, allowing high spectral resolution in a wide wavelength range from 190 to 900 nm. 
ChromNAV offers control and sophisticated data acquisition and processing through a USB 2.0.

High Resolution

The MD-2018 has high spectral resolution in wide wavelength region by newly designed optics which is equipped with 1024-element photodiode array.

Equipped with Deuterium (D₂) and Halogen (W) lamp

Using a D₂ and W lamp provide coverage of a wavelength region as wide as 190 to 900 nm. Each lamp can be turned on or off independently, enabling the user to save lamp usage time.

Temperature-controlled Flow Cell and Lamp-house

Temperature controlled flow cell and lamp house increase the baseline stability.

Function to Support Validation
Equipped with mercury lamp as standard, automatic wavelength calibration can be performed. Functions such as indicating time for lighting lamp and monitoring lamp energy are available to support validation.

Easy Maintenance
Flow cell, D₂ and W lamps can be accessed from front side, assuring easy replacement. Functions such as stopping the system when a solvent leak occurs and warning indication to replace lamps with new one are available, improving safety and reliability.

Function for Identifying Flow Cell
The flow cell for the MD-2018 is recognized automatically, allowing suitable signal processing as standard.

Analysis of 6 Aromatic Hydrocarbonsl
This data shows a chromatogram of 6 aromatic hydrocarbons and a contour plot. By plotting the wavelength of maximum Abs by Max. Abs display, detecting peaks of unknown components can be surely performed.
