Performance Characteristics of the Agilent 1290 Infinity Evaporative Light Scattering Detector

The Agilent 1290 Infinity Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD) provides a wide detection range for a variety of compounds with excellent sensitivity, down to low-nanogram levels, better efficiency and greater reproducibility. It is perfect for the analysis of semivolatile and nonvolatile compounds and compounds without UV chromophores such as most amino acids and sugars. The 1290 Infinity ELSD does not rely on the optical properties of a compound and is able to measure compounds without the need for derivatization and tedious sample preparation. This Technical Overview demonstrates the improved sensitivity and performance of the 1290 Infinity ELSD coupled with the Agilent 1290 Infinity LC System. The 1290 Infinity ELSD is significantly more sensitive than any other ELSD and gives good data even in low concentrations. Author Bettina Schuhn Agilent Technologies, Inc. Waldbronn, Germany mV 400
