Quick Install Manual

Waters ACQUITY ELS delivers sensitive and selective detection for a wide range of analytes in liquid chromatography applications. The ELS detector utilizes the principles of evaporative light scattering to provide mass-independent detection, making it an ideal choice for detecting non-chromophoric and semi-volatile compounds that may not be easily detected by other methods.

Capabilities:

  • Mass-independent detection: Enables detection of analytes regardless of their UV absorbance or fluorescence properties.
  • High sensitivity: Detects analytes in the low nanogram to picogram range.
