A minicomputer-automated array spectrometer for liquid-chromatographic detection of metabolites

RE Dessy, WD Reynolds, WG Nunn, CA Titus and GF Moler

A third-generation multiwavelength array spectrometer was developed as a detector for the high-resolution liquid-chromatographic characterization of metabolites. Components include a PDP-8/e minicomputer, matched pair of linear photodiode arrays, holographically- ruled gratings, fiber optics, flow cells, and high intensity xenon light source. The wavelength range is 256 nm differential with 1-nm resolution and can be adjusted from 200 to 800 nm. The system is capable of storing 20 spectra per second (200-456 nm) in a dual-beam mode. Special features include minicomputer-driven signal enhancement via integration as a function of signal strength. The display output includes presentation of the total absorption chromatogram vs. elution time in both real and post-run time as well as selectable single absorption band vs. elution time (post-run time). Application of this dedicated system is illustrated by the separation and charcterization of the metabolites of a carcinogen, 4-ethylsulfonyl-1 napthalenesulfonamide.
