Biotech Fluidics Solvent Line Monitor: Next generation programmable, high sensitivity bubble and “Empty-Bottle” detector

 

The new Biotech Fluidics Solvent Line Monitor constantly monitor the status of the feed line of up to two chromatograph pumps (very handy when gradients are involved) and trigger an alarm if an “Empty Bottle” is detected. Further to an acoustic alarm, the Solvent Line Monitor also provides a relay contact which can be utilized to stop a pump or to forward the alarm condition to the PC Software used in your liquid chromatography system. This clever monitor can safeguard your laboratory against running out of solvent in critical applications, thus avoiding faulty analysis results, system downtime, or even extensive equipment maintenance.

 

What can happen if air bubbles enter the liquid system?

 

The presence of bubbles or microbubbles can result in changes in retention time, pulsating baseline, unexpected changes to peak area, irregular peak shape, pump outage and excessively high back pressure. As a result of these problems, accuracy and precision can decline to the point where analytical scientists may be unable to distinguish between trace amounts of analytes and the system baseline.

 

Can the monitor be used on any system?

 

The Biotech Solvent Line Monitor is perfect for any liquid chromatography or fluidic system. It can be set up to automatically trigger a pump shutdown or a switching valve when a solvent flow line becomes empty or contains too many bubbles or micro bubbles.

 

This user-friendly device is powered by USB connection and the intuitive computer program supplied with every unit allows the user to define sensitivity, mode of operation and reaction type.

 

The Solvent Line Monitor supports up to two optical sensors capable of detecting bubbles in any transparent or translucent PTFE, Tygon® or similar tubing materials commonly used in

HPLC, Ion Chromatography and GPC/SEC systems.

 

Key Benefits

• Prevent unreliable results due to air bubbles
• Avoid air related pump breakdowns
• Increase the performance reproducibility and reliability of any liquid chromatography or flow chemistry system
