Global FIA has introduced the Glocel, a high-sensitivity chemiluminescence flow cell that is claimed to offer a number of advantages over the traditional coiled tubing design.
A serpentine channel machined into a Teflon disc insert enables the rapid mixing of sample and reagent internally in the eye of the detector, allowing fast CL reactions to be accommodated.
Different channel configurations can be custom machined, so the Glocel can be tailored to different applications.
Either a photon counter or a PMT detector (available from Global FIA) mated at a sapphire window interface with the Glocel is used as the detector.
Two different standard disc inserts are available to accommodate FIA, SIA, ZF and post-column derivatisation for HPLC.
The company can also supply a complete CL flow-based system, including software for analytical applications or CL research.
