We are pleased to share new information about the CAMAG TLC Scanner 4 with 366 nm LED excitation – a modern, mercury-free alternative to the conventional Hg lamp.
From 1 October 2026, the new TLC Scanner 4 with LED excitation will replace the current TLC Scanner 4 using the Hg lamp.
Important: The TLC Scanner 4 with LED excitation requires visionCATS 4.2 SP, which will also be available from 1 October 2026. Please ensure that visionCATS 4.2 SP is installed when commissioning or upgrading a TLC Scanner 4 with LED excitation.
