The Photochemical Reactor
For Enhanced Detection

Continuous Photolytic Derivatization Device

This device is placed between the HPLC column and the detector to perform on-line, post-column continuous derivatization inside the PTFE knitted reactor coils. Enhancement of UV, Fluorescence, Electrochemical or Chemiluminescence detection is made easy and reproducible.

Easy to Use and Low Cost
Increase Sensitivity in Fluorescence, UV or ElectroChemical Detections
Useful with Amino Acids, Peptides, Aflotoxins and Small Molecules

Below are two chromatograms that show a standard mixture of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2. The top Chromatogram is what you see with a knitted reactor coil but no UV energy. The “light is off”. The bottom chromatogram shows the exact same separation but with the Photochemical Reactor with the “Light On”. The difference is obvious.
