looking for P/ACE MDQ LIF detector

[folive]

I recently purchased a refurbished Beckman P/ACE MDQ to replace my 5000 series that I was using with a 488 nm laser. However, the MDQ did not come with the LIF detector, laser interconnect module, or LIF cartridge plug/stabilizer. In other words, I have a laser and working CE system but the two cannot talk to each other

Does anyone have any of these items for donation or purchase? Your help would be greatly appreciated. As an academic scientist I cannot afford the enormous price of buying them new from Beckman.

Many thanks,

Foster,

You could do a web search and try used equipment brokers. One that I am familiar with is Analytical Instruments at www.aibltd.com. Standard disclaimer, I am not associated with the company. Good luck!

Thanks....I have tried several equipment re-sellers but they are very difficult to get parts from (such as individual detectors) if they have an entire system they want to sell you. I will try a few more, though, on the off chance I might get lucky....

Thanks for your input.

Not much luck finding these in the used equipment arena, but I am in touch with the folks at Beckman and they are being a great help in finding demo units and working out a deal.
