Evaporative light scattering detector

Alltech ELSD 800 is an evaporative light scattering detector that can add universal HPLC detection to any LC system to replace or complement existing detectors. The ELSD's universal response gives a closer representation of sample mass than UV detectors, making quantification more accurate when standards are not available. It can be used in parallel with MS to obtain maximum structural and concentration information for each sample. Unlike RI detectors, the ELSD offers high sensitivity, equilibrates quickly and is gradient compatible.

The ELSD 800 is easy to operate and requires virtually no optimisation. Its small size and stackable design conserve laboratory bench space. ELSD is suitable for analysing many different pharmaceutical compounds. Its response is based on the concentration of the analyte, whether or not it absorbs UV light. It determines sample composition even for unknowns where standards and structural data are not available. The ELSD's baseline is quiet and free from drift during gradients. The result is high sensitivity and accurate quantitation.
