What Does DAD Stand For?
DAD stands for Diode Array Detector
A Diode Array Detector (DAD) is an analytical instrument used in chromatography and spectrometry for detecting and quantifying light absorbed by samples. It consists of an array of photodiodes that capture photons over a range of wavelengths simultaneously, providing high sensitivity and rapid data acquisition. DADs are commonly employed in various applications, including pharmaceutical analysis, environmental testing, and food safety, due to their ability to deliver detailed spectral information and enhanced resolution.
