The SPD-20A is a dual-wavelength UV/Vis detector for HPLC. It monitors column eluent at up to two wavelengths simultaneously (or one wavelength plus a reference). Key specs you'll use daily: Briefly introduce the Shimadzu SPD-20A UV-Vis detector, its
If you are reading this, you likely have a Shimadzu SPD-20A UV/Vis detector attached to a Prominence or LC-20A series HPLC system. You’ve probably already downloaded the 300-page PDF manual from Shimadzu’s website. That manual is comprehensive—but let’s be honest: it is dense, difficult to search, and often leaves users asking, "Why is my baseline noisy?" or "How do I actually change the lamp without breaking the fiber optic cable?"
