evaporative light scattering detector

Polymer Laboratories manufactures a new design of high sensitivity evaporative light scattering (ELS) detector for HPLC, microHPLC and GPC/SEC, the PL-ELS 1000. This detector represents the latest generation of non-selective auniversal' detectors.

The detector features a new, high efficiency nebuliser design and low volume/low dispersion evaporation system. These, coupled with independently-controlled nebulisation and evaporation temperatures, result in superior baseline stability, which is totally unaffected by eluent composition or ambient temperature. Fundamental reproducibility of operation is ensured through an integral precision gas flow controller and advanced temperature regulation.

The PL-ELS 1000 is designed both for the demanding, fast and extreme gradient HPLC required in high throughput combinatorial chemistry screening, and for routine, high sensitivity HPLC and microHPLC applications.

Precise temperature control from 40°C to 250°C and an integrally-controlled heated transfer line create the ideal platform for all GPC/SEC applications, from polyolefins through to aqueous soluble polymers. The very high sensitivity of the PL-ELS 1000 eliminates dispersion effects due to sample overloading. The PL-ELS 1000 is also supplied with a remote IR handset controller.
