Instrument GLP Test Using Laura’s unique instrument GLP test function, the eight most significant performance parameters are measured and stored. Results can be viewed and printed giving you access to the performance history of the detector and allowing potential performance problems to be detected before they affect your results. Highest Sensitivity…Lowest Background Outstanding performance of the new â-RAM Model 4 derives from the two selected flat-faced 11/8” photomultiplier tubes, which are now recognized as the best for continuous-flow measurement. These PMTs operate at 1000 volts less than...
