Zeeman versus D2 Background Correction




Background correction independent of wavelength

Char. mass typically 10 and 20 % poorer than with D2 (the
m0 for the worst case, Cu, is 50% poorer)

Zeeman-effect background correction gives superior
detection limits in real samples
True double-beam with only one optical path
Baseline noise at least 2x lower
Optical resolution Dl is 100x better
