ESA has launched a new website dedicated to providing technical, performance and applications information on its 'breakthrough' HPLC charged aerosol detection (Cad) technology
The site provides a technical overview of the new HPLC universal detection technology.
It further details and illustrates performance advances that have been made in the areas of sensitivity, reproducibility, dynamic range of operation, scope of applicability and response factors.
Charged aerosol detection is compared and contrasted to other HPLC universal detection technologies including refractive index (RI), low wavelength (UV), evaporative light scattering (ELS), and chemiluminescent nitrogen detector (CLND) methods.
Data is provided demonstrating how the new technique typically provides ten times the sensitivity of ELS, more consistent response factors than LC-MS, UV, or ELS, and the gradient performance missing from RI.
Cad represents a significant new universal detection option for HPLC that not only exceeds the capabilities of current options, but also can push the boundaries of universal detection into areas where current methods are not able to perform, says ESA.
