The multiwavelength UV/Vis detector: New possibilities with an added spectral dimension

Abstract

The multiwavelength (MWL) detector is a new type of absorption detector for AUC. The commercial absorption detector of the Beckman Coulter XLA AUC can only handle a single wavelength per scan with the possibility to scan at maximum 3 wavelengths, whereas MWL-AUC can handle all the wavelengths in the UV/Vis region at one time. The result is impressive since now a full spectral dimension is added to each single scan. In this chapter, we are explaining development history, instrumentation, and future perspective of MWL-AUC.
