Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction 1. Introduction The UV-1 is a fixed wavelength UV monitor, consisting of a control unit and an optical unit that can be positioned up to 10 meters apart. A mercury lamp is the stable light source, furthermore a built-in reference cell eliminates baseline drift. -

2. General Description 2. General Description GE Healthcare LKB Monitor UV-1 consists of an optical unit 2.1 Basic principle containing the flow cell, lamp, filter assemblies and preamplifiers, and a control unit containing the signal processing circuits. The two units are connected via a multi-core cable hardwired from the control unit to the optical unit. - Page 6 2. General Description Fig. 2 Block diagram The photocurrent from each detector is amplified in a pre-amplifier before passing to the signal processing circuitry in the control unit. If transmission is to be monitored, the signal passes directly to the low pass filter.

4. Operation 4. Operation The UV-1 can be operated at either 254 nm, 280 nm or 405 nm. 4.1 Choice of The choice of wavelength will depend on the spectral properties of wavelength both the eluent and the substances to be detected. Proteins and poly- pep-tides containing aromatic amino acids are usually best detected at 280 and 254 nm. -
