How do I differentiate between the 2475 and ACQUITY FLR lamps? - WKB3098

ENVIRONMENT

• 2475 Multi-Wavelength Fluorescence Detector
• ACQUITY UPLC FLR Detector

ANSWER

Refer to the attached photo:

• 2475 lamp (201000131) is on the top and ACQUITY FLR lamp (201000193) is on the bottom.
• Note the silver sleeves on the glass envelope indicating that  this is the Mercury Xenon lamp, only used in the ACQUITY FLR.

Please also see the following Service Alert - New supplier for 2475/FLR Lamps: Small Differences in design - 715009913

There is a new supplier and the differences are not as noticeable 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The lamps are not interchangeable between detectors. Installing the wrong lamp in a detector produces start-up diagnostic errors.
