Paraytec has announced the availability of an eight-page brochure that provides an introduction to the Actipix D100 miniature UV area imaging detector.
The Actipix D100 is a quantitative UV area imaging system used in research and development laboratories for proteomics, biocatalysis, biopharma, protein characterisation and formulation optimisation.
Its open architecture design makes it suitable as an add-on to many OEM systems.
The miniature detector contains a high resolution 1280 x 1024 active pixel sensor.
The entire or selected areas of the imager can be used to enable research scientists to perform current applications with flexibility or to develop applications never before possible, for example, to visualise surface tablet dissolution by UV detection.
Examples of applications possible with this detector include: real-time study of diffusion processes; in-line quantification and sizing of biopharmaceuticals; dissolution/solubility testing and membrane transport studies; and high-sensitivity UV detection for single and multiplexed CE and nanoLC.
The Actipix D100 consists of a control box connected via a fibre optic cable and communications cable to a remote sensor head.
The sensor head holds exchangeable, application-specific cartridges.
The cartridges are used in conjunction with software, enabling the end user to switch between applications.
The detector can be used as an accessory linked in-line to single or multiple peripheral devices, such as syringe pumps, existing CE or nanoLC instrumentation.
These can be further coupled to other devices such as mass spectrometers.
Detection is performed at a selected wavelength by means of interchangeable filters.
The detector wavelength range is 190nm to 1,100nm.
