Figure 49 Finding Best Response Time
LC fluorescence detectors typically work with response times of 2 or 4 s. The
default of the module is 4 seconds. It is important to know that comparing
sensitivity requires using the same response time. A response time of 4 s
(default) is equivalent to a time constant of 1.8 s and appropriate for standard
chromatographic conditions.
