Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV)-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are now widely used in analytical absorbance-based detectors; as compared to conventional UV lamps, they offer lower cost, faster response time, and higher photon conversion efficiency. However, current generation deep-UV-LEDs produce excess heat when operated at normal operating currents, which affects output stability and reduces their overall performance and lifespan. Herein a 3D printed liquid cooling interface has been developed for a deep-UV-LED-based optical detector, for capillary format flow-through detection. The interface consists of a circular channel that is tightly wrapped around the LED to provide active liquid cooling. The design also facilitates easy plug-and-play assembly of the various essential components of the detector: specifically, a 255 nm UV-LED, a capillary Z-cell, and a broadband UV photodiode (PD). The unique liquid cooling interface improved the performance of the detector by reducing the LED temperature up to 22°C, increasing the spectral output up to 34%, decreasing the required stabilization time by up to 6-fold, and reducing the baseline noise and limits of detection (LODs) by a factor of 2. The detector was successfully used within a capillary HPLC system and could offer a miniaturized, rapidly stabilized, highly sensitive, and low-cost alternative to conventional UV detectors.
