A diffraction grating is used to separate polychromatic light into its constituent wavelengths. In a Raman spectrometer diffraction gratings are used to separate the constituent wavelengths of the collected Raman scatter onto different pixels of the CCD camera for detection. All Raman spectrometers will require at least one diffraction grating and will frequently be configured to contain more than one to allow the user optimum grating selection for their samples and excitation wavelength(s).
YMC-Triart C18 UHPLC columns with an ID of 1 mm are the ideal choice for high sensitivity LC/MS analyses. In this new application note, the screening of 6 antineoplastic drugs is shown. This analysis requires the highest sensitivity since even the smallest amounts of these drugs need to be detected due to their adverse very serious, life-threatening effects. By choosing a high efficiency column with a small internal diameter of 1 mm and coupling it to mass spectrometry the benefit becomes clear: excellent peak shapes – also for low sensitivity compounds!
