The Yamazen ELSD-100X Evaporative Light Scattering Detector is a universal detector, specifically designed for use with the Yamazen Smart Flash purification systems. Use of an ELSD allows a chemist to purify compounds that do not have a chromophore, and hence are invisible to a UV detector. Previously, ELSDs have been used for high sensitivity analysis in HPLC and UPLC. Flash purification places different demands on the detector. For flash purification, wide dynamic range and the ability to handle high concentrations of sample become critically important. When used in conjunction with our Smart Flash system, virtually any compounds can be detected and collected. Mass ranges from 0.1 mg to 10 grams are easily handled. When the Yamazen Smart Flash system incorporates an ELSD, it becomes possible to purify carbohydrates, steroids, alcohols, lipids, fatty acids, surfactants, terpenes, and other non-chromophoric compounds. Parallel detection and fractionation are also possible. Using both a UV detector and an ELSD boosts productivity and efficiency since each detector can be used for the compounds on which it works best.
