The Dionex AD20 Absorbance Detector is a dual-beam, variable wavelength photometer. Full spectral capability is provided by two light sources: a deuterium lamp for ultraviolet detection and a tungsten lamp for visible wavelength operation. The Dionex AD20 features programmable wavelength selection and automatic calibration for precision, reproducibility, and ease-of-use.
