Agilent 385-ELSD Evaporative Light Scattering Detector Data Sheet
The Agilent 385-ELSD is an Evaporative Light Scattering Detector designed for analyzing low molecular weight compounds that lack UV chromophores. It features unique sub-ambient operation, utilizing a Peltier cooled evaporation tube to reach temperatures down to 10 °C, which prevents the degradation of thermally labile analytes.
The instrument provides high sensitivity with responses down to low nanogram levels and offers superb reproducibility below 2%. Key capabilities include real-time control of gas flow and temperature during injections via Dimension Software, eliminating solvent gradient effects. It is fully integrated with Agilent analytical LC systems and compatible with multi-vendor software.
