At Pittcon 2007, the DX deuterium lamp becomes available as a replacement lamp for many spectroscopy instruments that are still equipped with different lamps, eg from Waters or Shimadzu
At Pittcon 2007, Heraeus Noblelight launches a new generation of its DX long-life deuterium lamp.
Gary Thomas from Heraeus explains the benefit: "A long lamp lifetime sounds good, but what really matters for the analytical result is the precision of the light output towards the end of this lifetime.
"This stability determines the quality of the analytical results.
"And that's where our DX deuterium lamp is simply better".
In numbers: Even after 2000 hours operating time, Heraeus guarantees a noise level below 2x10-5AU.
Compared to the current industry standard of 5x10-4AU, this is one full order of magnitude better.
Also from the outside, the new DX lamp looks different.
The shine-through version of the lamp shows the new body construction that combines ceramic parts with metal for optimal mechanical precision and longevity.
The new DX lamp has just been approved by leading HPLC instrument makers after extensive tests.
At Pittcon 2007, it also becomes available as a replacement lamp for many spectroscopy instruments that are still equipped with different lamps, eg from Waters or Shimadzu.
A list of approved Heraeus replacement lamp distributors is available..
