The Shimadzu SPD-10A deuterium lamp is the original UV light source for Shimadzu SPD-10A UV-Vis detector in HPLC systems, with OEM part number 228-34016-02. It is also compatible with SPD-10AVvp, SPD-20A and SPD-15C detectors, widely used in pharmaceutical, food, environmental and chemical analysis laboratories.
This D2 deuterium lamp features stable UV spectral output within 190–400 nm wavelength range. The guaranteed service life reaches 2000 operating hours. When your SPD-10A shows weak UV energy, drifting baseline, lamp failure alarm or the accumulated runtime reaches the rated hours, it is time for Shimadzu SPD-10A deuterium lamp replacement.
Before replacing the Shimadzu SPD-10A deuterium lamp, power off the HPLC detector and wait for cooling. Wear clean gloves and avoid touching the lamp window directly with fingers, oil contamination will reduce light transmission and shorten lamp lifespan. Install the new lamp correctly according to the SPD-10A service manual. After installation, perform energy check and baseline calibration, and reset the lamp hour counter on the instrument.
Select high-quality Shimadzu SPD-10A deuterium lamp to keep your HPLC test data accurate and repeatable. Poor compatible lamps may cause unstable baseline, low sensitivity and frequent instrument alarms. If you have questions about installation or compatibility, contact our technical support.
