A spectrophotometric detector capable of measuring at wavelengths from 260 to 340 nm. It is however preferable to work with a multiple wavelength detector with a diode array or similar, in order to confirm the purity of the peaks.\n5.1.2. A spectrofluorimetric detector — excitation wavelength: 354 nm, emission wavelength: 446 nm (for the trace determination of scopoletin; which is also detectable at 313 nm by spectrophotometry).\n5.1.3. An injection device capable of introducing 10 or 20 μl (for example) of the test sample.\n5.1.4. A high-performance liquid chromatography column, RP C18 type, 5 μm maximum particle size.",
