Charged Aerosol Detectors

Near-Universal Detection for Non-Volatile Analytes

Detection Principle

Charged Aerosol Detectors offer mass-dependent, near-universal detection for non-volatile and semi-volatile analytes, regardless of optical properties. Particles are charged and detected proportionally to their mass.

Key Advantages

  • Uniform response across compound classes
  • Excellent sensitivity and reproducibility
  • Ideal for analytes lacking chromophores
  • Compatible with gradient elution

Typical Applications

Pharmaceutical Formulations Lipids & Fatty Acids Sugars & Carbohydrates Surfactants & Polymers Impurity Profiling Quality Control Labs
ELSD

Evaporative Light Scattering Detectors

Non-Chromophoric Compound Detection

Detection Principle

ELSD systems detect analytes by measuring scattered light from particles formed after solvent evaporation, making them ideal for compounds that do not absorb UV light or lack fluorescence.

Key Advantages

  • Suitable for gradient and isocratic methods
  • Broad compound applicability
  • Robust and reliable operation
  • Minimal method development

Typical Applications

Lipids & Triglycerides Carbohydrates & Sugars Polymers & Surfactants Natural Products Food & Cosmetic Testing Industrial Chemicals

Detector Selection Guide

Feature CAD ELSD Best For
Sensitivity High (ng levels) Moderate-High Trace analysis
Response Uniformity Excellent Good Multi-compound analysis
Gradient Compatibility Excellent Good Complex separations
Operation Simplicity Moderate High Routine labs
Maintenance Moderate Low High-throughput

Tip: CAD generally offers better sensitivity and uniformity, while ELSD provides simpler operation and lower maintenance. Contact our experts for application-specific recommendations.
