Introducing HYDRA™: A groundbreaking Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) Detector for Liquid Chromatography.

HYDRA enhances analytical possibilities by providing scientists with unprecedented detection capability for a broad range of applications while fitting harmoniously into existing laboratory workflows.

Key Capabilities

Universal Detection

Nearly all compounds absorb VUV light because all compounds have a chromophore, eliminating blind spots in analysis.

Efficient Instrument Control

HYDRA integrates seamlessly into existing chromatography data systems (CDS) for straightforward operation.

Novel Band Architecture

Offers 12 chromatographic data channels, enabling improved spectral selectivity for the identification of peaks.

Inherent Linearity

HYDRA follows Beer’s Law, offering accurate quantitation across a wide concentration range.

Enhanced Dynamic Range

Provides greater analytical flexibility across a range of sample concentrations.

Uncomplicated Method Development

HYDRA simplifies method optimization, reducing the need for time-consuming trial-and-error adjustments.

Simple Instrument Setup

Designed for easy and hassle-free installation, enabling quick deployment in any laboratory environment.

HYDRA brings the proven power of VUV detection to Liquid Chromatography for the first time, offering an unparalleled degree of sensitivity, selectivity, and usability. Regardless of the compounds being analyzed, HYDRA empowers laboratories with greater confidence in their results.

First deliveries of HYDRA production units are scheduled for Q2 2025. To keep informed of HYDRA availability, application notes, and other interesting information please provide your details here.
