3 Optimizing the Fluorescence Detector
LC fluorescence detectors typically work with response times of 2 or
4 seconds. The default of the Agilent 1100 fluorescence detector is 4 seconds.
It is important to know that comparing sensitivity requires using the same
response time. A response time of 4 seconds (default) is equivalent to a time
constant of 1.8 seconds and appropriate for standard chromatographic
conditions.
