Beta-RAM® model 5 - RHPLC Detector

Over 25 years experience has gone into the development of the new β-RAM model 5, the fifth generation of the world leading radio flow detector. Already in use in thousands of laboratories world wide the β-RAM has a well deserved reputation for the best sensitivity and reliability.

Whatever challenge your analysis presents, the new β-RAM model 5 has a configuration to suit you. Coupled with the industry standard Laura radiochromatography data system the β-RAM model 5 leads the way for radiochromatographers.

Laura has been the recognized industry standard software for radiochromatography for the best part of 20 years. Laura now features control of many of the worlds leading HPLC and radio detectors systems to provide a single point of control for the entire radiochromatography analysis.

Resolution

UPLC®, Rapid Resolution LC, Fast LC

New LC technologies bring new challenges for the radio chromatographer, the new β-RAM model 5 meets those challenges.

Low dead volume fittings, tubing and mixing components optimized for low flow rates ensure optimum peak shape and definition.

Specially designed flow cells in volumes ranging from 5ul give superb performance under even the most demanding conditions. The β-RAM range has always offered the lowest background and the model 5 improves this even further. The new model 5 also features sub-second update times to ensure the greatest accuracy with the tightest peaks.

Stop Flow

Stop Flow replaces the requirement for time consuming and expensive Liquid Scintillation Counting of low level samples.

By optimizing the counting time in the detector flow cell, the combination of the Stop Flow option and Laura software allows the radiochemical measurement to be entirely at the threshold and measurement level required by the user.

With Stop Flow the radiochromatographer simply initiates a batch of samples in the measurement queue and the samples are automatically counted and chromatograms produced

New Features

  • Active Counting Mode dynamically adjusts run conditions for the best results.
  • USB Interface  for control and data collection .
  • Bluetooth link allows control through a pocket digital assistant.
  • Improved cell design reduces dead volume.
  • Sub-second updates  for the greatest accuracy with the tightest peaks
  • New ergonomic design 
  • Smallest ever footprint
  • New drip tray and leak detection technology

Active Counting Mode

Radio flow detection has traditionally used a variety of static parameters that are applied to the entire run. We are now able to alter the detection characteristics according to a simplified heterodyne model. This allows the system to actively monitor and adjust run conditions in real time, applying the most appropriate settings dynamically.

Standard flow

Without ACM

ACM provides unrivalled limits of detection while keeping run duration the same as a conventional run. This gives on-line detection limits previously only achieved off-line; Improved resolution and peak definition.

Using ACM™

ACM Enabled

This example shows a 16 fold increase in sensitivity and significant improvements in peak shape and definition
