Introduction to the ELSD(简介)
The Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (Agilent 380/385-ELSD) is a unique
and highly sensitive detector for semi-volatile and non-volatile solutes in a
liquid stream. It is mainly used as a concentration detector for High
Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The solvent stream containing
the solute material is nebulized and carried by a gas flow through an
evaporation chamber. The solvent is volatilized, leaving a mist of solute
particles that scatter light to a photosensitive device. The signal is amplified
and a voltage output provides the concentration of the solute particles passing
through the light.
The Agilent 380/385-ELSD may be used alone, or as one of several detectors in
a GPC or HPLC system. As the solvent or eluent is evaporated in the course of
the analysis, the Agilent 380/385-ELSD must be the last in series if used in
conjunction with other detectors. If the Agilent 380/385-ELSD is being used as
the last detector in a series, care must be taken not to exceed the
recommended backpressure in detector cells in other units.
This manual instructs the user in the installation and operation of the Agilent
380/385-ELSD for stand-alone use and control using Agilent OpenLAB
(ChemStation & EZChrom editions) and Agilent ChemStation.
Operational Parameters（操作参数）
The ELS Detector responds to all compounds that are less volatile than the
mobile phase and is independent of a compound’s optical properties. It
therefore provides advantages over other spectroscopic detectors for detecting
compounds that are deficient in a UV chromophore or fluorophore.
The removal of aqueous mobile phase within an ELSD is typically achieved by
setting the evaporator temperature to the eluent’s boiling point (e.g. 100 °C) in
order to remove the solvent. For non-volatile compounds, operating at these
high temperatures maximizes the signal response.
However, at these temperatures volatile and semi-volatile compounds are
destroyed and are therefore not detected. This is problematic for small
molecules, such as pharmaceuticals and drug candidates.
The ELS detectors are specifically designed to evaporate difficult solvents at
ambient and sub-temperatures in order to maximize detection of semi-volatile
compounds.
The ELSD has patented technology that reduces the evaporation time of highly
aqueous solvents at low temperature, and also prevents the evaporation tube
becoming saturated, which would otherwise preventing further evaporation
occurring.
Using this patented evaporation gas technology, a 20 μm droplet of water at
30 °C can be dried ca. 3x faster than just temperature alone. Using the Agilent
385-ELSD (G4261A), water can be evaporated as low as 20 °C, providing
maximum sensitivity to thermally sensitive compounds. For maximum
sensitivity of non-volatile compounds the evaporation gas can be turned off at
higher evaporation temperatures.
Therefore, unlike other ELS detectors, where the evaporator temperature is
set according to the type of mobile phase, the ELS detector evaporator
temperature is independent of the mobile phase. Consequently, the ELS
detector can be set at 30 °C for all types of mobile phase provided the
evaporator gas flow is adjusted accordingly. This method of operation ensures
that the ELSD sensitivity is maximized even for low molecular weight
compounds.
To prevent against unnecessary gas usage, a controlled gas shut off valve is
integrated into the detector gas manifold. This will only allow gas to pass into
the instrument when in RUN mode. Should the instrument default to
STANDBY mode the gas will reduce to a default value of 1.2 SLM for 15 min
before closing.
