Agilent InfinityLab ELSD User Manual 8

Introduction to the ELSD

The Evaporative Light Scattering Detector 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 1260 Infinity II ELSD or Agilent 1290 Infinity II ELSD may be used

alone, or as one of several detectors in a GPC or HPLC system. As the solvent or

eluent is evaporated during the analysis, the Agilent 1260 Infinity II ELSD or

Agilent 1290 Infinity II ELSD must be the last in series if used with other

detectors. If the Agilent 1260 Infinity II ELSD or Agilent 1290 Infinity II 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

1260 Infinity II ELSD or Agilent 1290 Infinity II ELSD for standalone use and

control using Agilent OpenLab CDS, OpenLab ChemStation, or OpenLab

EZChrom.

1 Introduction to the Detector

System Overview

Basic Principles of Operation

Nebulization

The eluent inlet is connected to the nebulizer via a short length of stainless steel

capillary tube. The incoming eluent stream passes through the heated nebulizer

and is mixed with the incoming nebulizer gas stream. The mixed gas and eluent

stream form an aerosol plume containing a uniform dispersion of droplets that

then passes as a continuous flow into the evaporator section. Any larger droplets

or the inefficiently nebulized droplets collect in the nebulizer chamber waste trap

and then drain off via the waste outlet into a collection bottle.

Evaporation

After nebulization, the atomized spray is propelled through the evaporation tube

assisted by the carrier gas. In the evaporator section, the solvent is removed

leaving a stream of dry particles of the analyte. A diffuser located in the

evaporator assists in the drying of the particles, acting as an efficient heat

exchanger, prevents ballistic particles reaching the scattering chamber and

randomizes the particle plume. The ELS Detector uses patented gas flow

technology in the evaporation zone to aid evaporation at low temperatures. By

adding a stream of dry nitrogen (evaporation gas) at the entrance of the

evaporator tube less volatile solvents (for example, water) are easily evaporated.

This evaporation gas is controlled by the user and facilitates subambient

operation.

Detection

Light in the optical chamber is passed through the instrument at right angles to

the direction of particle flow. A light trap is located opposite the source of light to

capture the transmitted incident beam eliminating internal reflections within the

instrument body. When pure solvent is being evaporated, only its vapor passes

through the light path and the amount of light scattered to the photomultiplier is

small and gives a constant baseline response. When a nonvolatile solute is

present a particle cloud passes through the light path, causing light to be

scattered. This scattered light enters the optical aperture of the detection system

and generates a signal response from the photodiode in real time. The quantity

of light detected depends on the solute concentration and solute particle size

distribution.
