Shimadzu RF-10AXL

The Shimadzu RF-10AXL is a used fluorescence detector from Shimadzu's established RF-10A series, built to bring sensitive fluorescence detection capability to HPLC systems running on the earlier Shimadzu LC-10 and related platforms. It uses a xenon lamp light source with adjustable excitation and emission wavelength settings, and it remains a reliable option for laboratories that continue to operate legacy Shimadzu LC stacks. Many laboratories have kept these units in service because of their proven stability and straightforward operation. Operating downstream of the analytical column, the RF-10AXL converts fluorescence emission from eluting compounds into an electronic signal for the system controller, supporting quantitative and qualitative analysis of fluorescent analytes. It has commonly been used in applications spanning pharmaceutical analysis, biochemical research, and food safety testing where target compounds require the added selectivity and sensitivity that fluorescence detection provides over standard UV methods. The detector integrates with compatible Shimadzu pumps and autosamplers to form a complete legacy HPLC system. This particular unit is sold used and was removed from active laboratory service. It is well suited to labs maintaining older Shimadzu LC-10 series systems, seeking a replacement detector, or looking to keep a validated method running without migrating to newer hardware and revalidating the entire analytical procedure.
