1. Automatic identity and parameter recognition

   The chip pre-stores core parameters of the deuterium lamp, such as unique ID, model, serial number, nominal service life, factory-calibrated light intensity, and lamp holder interface specifications. After the deuterium lamp is installed on the instrument (e.g., high-end HPLC UV detector, spectrophotometer), the built-in reader module of the instrument will automatically read the chip data. There is no need for manual parameter input, and the system directly matches the corresponding operating conditions such as driving voltage, current, and preheating time. This greatly reduces the risk of parameter mismatch and avoids problems like baseline drift and reduced sensitivity caused by incorrect settings.

2. Full-life-cycle data tracking

   The chip supports repeated reading and writing. The instrument will record the cumulative working time and energy consumption data of the deuterium lamp in real time, automatically update the remaining service life, and send replacement alerts to users in advance. Meanwhile, these usage data can be stored for a long time, facilitating laboratories to comply with GMP/GLP and other compliance requirements, realizing the full traceability of deuterium lamps from production, warehousing, use to scrapping, and providing complete data support for audit verification.

3. Simplifying lamp replacement and maintenance processes

   When replacing a deuterium lamp with an RFID chip, there is no need to manually calibrate the optical axis or re-adjust instrument parameters. The system will directly call the pre-calibrated data in the chip to achieve plug-and-play, which greatly shortens the system equilibration time after lamp replacement and improves laboratory work efficiency. In addition, maintenance personnel can quickly query the historical usage records and maintenance information of the deuterium lamp by reading the chip data, and formulate accurate maintenance plans.

4. Anti-counterfeiting and compliance verification

   The chip of the original deuterium lamp is written with exclusive encryption verification information. The instrument can identify counterfeit, shoddy or non-certified compatible deuterium lamps by verifying the chip data, avoiding distorted test data and instrument failures caused by the use of inferior products. At the same time, information such as production batches and quality inspection records in the chip can meet the laboratory’s needs for compliance management of consumables.

Supplementary Notes

• Most third-party compatible deuterium lamps do not have original RFID chips, and some instruments may fail to recognize them or pop up error messages. Before purchasing, confirm whether the instrument supports the chip-free mode, or choose replacement lamps with compatible chips.
• The RFID chip is usually installed on the lamp holder or bracket of the deuterium lamp. Avoid physical collision to damage the chip during replacement, and ensure that the chip is aligned with the instrument reader to guarantee normal data reading.
