1260 Infinity Evaporative Light Scattering Detector

The 1260 Infinity Evaporative Light Scattering Detector is a high capability instrument ideal for detecting analytes with no UV chromophore as it does not rely on optical absorption. It is designed for non-volatile samples or where high boiling point solvents are required. As a result of 20 years of experience in the design and manufacture of evaporative light scattering detectors, the 1260 Infinity ELSD is an industry-leading alternative to RID and low wavelength UV for analytes with no UV chromophore. Patented gas flow technology and real time gas controls minimize quantification errors and help provide superb reproducibility in many applications.

  • High sensitivity provides superb responses for all compounds down to low nanogram levels.

  • Real-time gas control provides a uniform response across a solvent gradient that minimizes quantification errors.

  • Control and data collection system is compatible with many vendor platforms

  • Improved evaporation of difficult solvents and improved response to non-volatile compounds with operation up to 120 °C.

  • Unrivaled response to semi-volatile compounds at ambient temperature with patented gas flow technology.

  • Low dispersion and high-speed data output rates that are ideal for Fast LC applications.

  • Superb reproducibility below 2% for reliable and accurate results.

  • Full DMSO transparency keeps early eluting compounds detectable.
