Abstract:

HPLC detectors are selected based on the specific properties of target compounds such as UV absorption, fluorescence and redox ability. However, some compounds have no such specific properties and a refractive index detector has been commonly used in those cases. In recent years, evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) has been utilized for those compounds due to its wide range of applicability except for volatile compounds. In this paper, we review the principle, feature and know-how of ELSD and also introduce some applications by ELSD.

Keywords: HPLC, evaporative light scattering detector, ELSD
