Analysis of complex natural products

Series of new applications briefs demonstrating the utility of evaporative light scattering detector for the analysis of a range of natural products

ESA Analytical has announced a series of new applications briefs demonstrating the utility of its ChromaChem evaporative light scattering detector for the analysis of a range of natural products.

The Chromachem evaporative light scattering detector is a mass sensitive device, which produces a response directly proportional to an analyte's mass in the sample.

Unlike HPLC UV or fluorescence detectors, the Chromachem does not require the presence or absence of chromophores, fluorophores or electroactive groups for detection.

Incorporating a unique nebulisation system, state-of-the-art electronics, high intensity polychromatic light source and low noise photomultiplier the Chromachem offers sensitivity better than RI or low wavelength UV HPLC detectors enabling detection of even minor natural product components.

Insensitive to temperature variation the highly stable system also provides leading-edge consistency in measurement of relative response factors.

As a consequence direct assessment of relative mass is possible, without standards, saving time and making HPLC-ELSD the most versatile of techniques.
