Contactless Conductivity Detectors C4D
eDAQ supplies Capacitively-Coupled Contactless Conductivity Detectors (C4D) which can be used for capillary electrophoresis, microchip electrophoresis, chromatography and flow injection analysis.
Have a look at the videos and application notes. Read the introduction to C4D.
Put together your C4D system by selecting:
- One C4D unit, depending on which software you wish to use and how many C4D channels are required, and
- One or more C4D headstage/platform, depending on your application and which capillary/tubing/chip is being used.
All the C4D headstages/platforms work with each of the C4D units. If you have a novel application, look at our custom-made systems and contact us.
