Waters 2487 Dual Wavelength Absorbance HPLC UV Vis Detector

Insights by AMPTIUS | AMP Tech Instruments

High-Sensitivity Multi-Wavelength Detection for Liquid Chromatography

If your laboratory is looking to expand method flexibility and maximize analytical confidence during sensitive liquid chromatography workflows, the Waters 2487 Dual Wavelength Absorbance HPLC UV-Vis Detector delivers the ultimate intelligent, automated solution. Featuring a deuterium lamp UV-Visible optical system with low baseline noise and high absorbance linearity, the high-performance detector works alongside Waters Alliance HPLC systems to guarantee flawless quantitative performance and excellent sensitivity across a 190–700 nm wavelength range. The integrated dual-channel detection capability further streamlines your workflow by monitoring two independent wavelengths simultaneously, eliminating the need for multiple detectors and compound-confirmation restrictions prior to data reporting. It is a premier, robust powerhouse for environmental facilities tracking regulated organic contaminants, as well as pharmaceutical operations requiring uncompromised reproducibility and data integrity for strict API analysis, impurity profiling, and stability studies.

Waters 2487 Dual Absorbance Detector Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The total cost of ownership for the Waters 2487 Dual Wavelength Absorbance HPLC UV-Vis Detector depends on the initial purchase price, routine maintenance, consumables, and long-term service requirements. A certified refurbished Waters 2487 typically ranges from $2,000 to $3,800, offering a significant cost advantage compared to a new Waters 2489 UV/Visible Detector, which generally costs between $9,500 and $14,000. Beyond the initial acquisition, laboratories should budget for periodic flow cell maintenance, deuterium lamp replacement, calibration, and preventive servicing to ensure consistent analytical performance. For many quality control, research, and analytical laboratories, a professionally refurbished Waters 2487 delivers excellent value by providing reliable dual-wavelength UV-Vis detection at a fraction of the cost of a new system. When purchased from a reputable supplier with comprehensive testing, certification, and warranty coverage, a refurbished detector offers a cost-effective solution that reduces capital investment while maintaining the performance and reliability required for routine HPLC applications.

Waters 2487 Dual-Wavelength Absorbance Detector: Seamless Integration with Waters Alliance and Agilent 1100 Systems

The Waters 2487 HPLC Absorbance UV-Vis Detector is a dependable dual-wavelength detector engineered for precise quantitation of UV-absorbing compounds across diverse HPLC applications. Operating over a wavelength range of 190–700 nm, it offers exceptional accuracy, low baseline noise, and long-term optical stability for consistent results. Fully compatible with Waters Alliance 2690/2695, 1525, 1515, and 600/600E systems, as well as other platforms like the Agilent 1100/1200 and Shimadzu Prominence via analog or LAN interfaces, the 2487 supports seamless integration into regulated and research workflows. Common uses include pharmaceutical analysis (API purity and dissolution), environmental testing (EPA Method 549.2 and EPA Method 555), and PAH screening consistent with EPA Method 8310's UV detection channel; full method compliance for the complete PAH panel requires pairing with a fluorescence detector.
