Berthold HPLC detector

February 13, 2025 - Launched today, Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co.KG unveils its latest advancements in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) detection systems, setting a new benchmark for sensitivity, flexibility, and user-centric innovation.

As a global leader in bioanalytical instrumentation, Berthold's radio-HPLC detectors are transforming how laboratories across pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and nuclear medicine achieve unparalleled accuracy in separating and quantifying radiolabeled compounds.

The Critical Role of HPLC Detectors in Modern Science
Chromatography remains a cornerstone of analytical chemistry, enabling the separation of complex mixtures into individual components.

However, the true power of HPLC lies in its detection systems. Unlike universal detectors, HPLC requires specialized solutions tailored to the unique properties of analytes-whether they absorb UV light, fluoresce, or emit radioactivity.

For radioactive compounds, such as those labeled with isotopes like ¹⁴C, ³H, or ¹²⁵I, traditional detectors fall short. This is where Berthold's radio-HPLC detectors excel, offering unmatched sensitivity for applications ranging from drug metabolism studies to environmental contaminant tracking.

Berthold's Flagship Solutions: HERM LB 500 and FlowStar² LB 514

1. HERM LB 500: Flexibility Meets Precision
Designed for laboratories requiring adaptability, the HERM LB 500 supports dual detector configurations: the NaI detector for gamma and high-energy beta isotopes and the fLumo detector for PET and chemiluminescence applications. Its compact, lead-free design simplifies integration into existing HPLC systems via USB or analog outputs, making it ideal for high-background environments like nuclear medicine labs. Key features include:

• Direct positron measurement for PET isotopes, eliminating bulky shielding
• Low-noise photon counting with a head-on PMT for detecting faint chemiluminescence signals
• Compliance with GLP/GMP standards, ensuring reproducibility in quality control

2. FlowStar² LB 514: The Ultimate High-Sensitivity Platform
The FlowStar² LB 514 redefines ease of use with its intuitive touchscreen interface and SmartCell technology. Each SmartCell contains an embedded chip that auto-configures system parameters, streamlining workflows for isotopes like ⁹⁹mTc and ¹¹¹In 511. Highlights include:

• Random coincidence counting and luminescence subtraction to minimize background noise
• Integrated A/D converter for seamless data acquisition from external instruments (e.g., UV detectors)
• Dual analog outputs for compatibility with all HPLC data
systems

Applications Driving

Berthold's detectors are pivotal in addressing global challenges:

• Pharmaceutical Development: Quantifying radiolabeled drugs and metabolites with precision, accelerating FDA approvals
• Environmental Monitoring: Detecting trace contaminants like pesticides and pharmaceuticals at ultralow concentrations
• Radiopharmaceutical QC: Ensuring purity of ⁶⁸Ga-labeled antibodies and ¹⁸F-based PET tracers for cancer diagnostics

Recent studies published in EJNMMI Research and Cancer Research underscore the reliability of Berthold's systems in cutting-edge research, such as optimizing folate conjugates for tumor imaging.

Software Integration: Powering Smarter Workflows

Berthold's RadioStar software and Chromeleon™ drivers bridge hardware and digital analysis, offering:

• Real-time chromatogram displays for instant data interpretation
• Half-life correction for short-lived isotopes, critical in radiopharmacy
• Customizable reports to meet stringent regulatory requirements

Commitment to Safety and Sustainability

The FlowStar²'s waste valve technology ensures only radioactive fractions are diverted to specialized containers, reducing hazardous waste by up to 70% 11. Meanwhile, the HERM's automatic shutdown feature enhances operational safety in high-radiation environments.
