Improving Evaporative Light Scattering Detector performance using Experiments and Modelling
Agilent’s Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD) detects analyte concentration and is often used in conjunction with chromatographic techniques, wherein the chromatographic eluent is atomised to produce a spray which is dried in a ‘drift-tube’ and detected via light scattering. At present, in …
