HPLC Post-column Derivatization
without Reagents

  • Enhance Sensitivity & Selectivity of your HPLC detectors with immobilized photocatalyst and UV light only
  • Rapidly Detect selected non UV absorbing & electrochemically inactive compounds at room temperature with photoconversion
  • Inexpensive - No Reagents / No Pumps / No Dilution
  • Compatible with common HPLC detectors / Compact  size
  • Easy to Use - Connect LuxTube® photocatalytic tube between HPLC column and detector, turn on PhotoBlaster® UV light and observe change in detector response for selected analytes

How the PhotoBlaster® System-1 and the LuxTube® Assembly (patent pending) are Unique


  • First HPLC post-column photochemical reactor to use photocatalyst immobilized on inside surface of precision bore fluoropolymer reactor coil
  • Shorter coils / very compact size / Minimizes band broadening
  • Room temperature reactions minimize premature leakage of reactor coil
  • Dramatically improved detection limits

Applications


Many compounds lacking chromophores or electrophores convert to detectable species without reagents, using UV light only.
