Varian 380-LC ELSD

Evaporative light scattering detectors are ideal for detecting analytes with no UV chromophore as they do not rely on the optical properties of a compound. The Varian 380-LC Evaporative Light Scattering Detector is the latest high performance ELS detector from Varian Polymer Laboratories, with almost 20 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of evaporative light scattering detectors.

The Varian 380-LC Evaporative Light Scattering Detector is the smallest and most flexible ELSD available. Patented gas flow technology gives the 380-LC unrivalled detection capability at ambient temperatures and uniform response across a gradient. This precision instrument operates up to 120 °C, with a heated nebulizer that makes it a perfect match for a wide range of applications and LC techniques, including GPC. To detect everything you inject with high sensitivity, the Varian 380-LC is the ELSD of choice for all high temperature applications.

Key Benefits

• High sensitivity provides superb responses for all compounds, down to low nanogram levels.
• Unrivalled response to semi-volatile compounds at ambient temperature from patented gas flow technology.
• Operation up to 120 °C gives improved evaporation of difficult solvents and better response to non-volatile compounds.
• Low dispersion and high-speed data output rates are the perfect match for Fast LC applications.
• Superb reproducibility below 2 % gives reliable and accurate results.
• Full DMSO transparency ensures that responses from early eluting compounds are not hidden.
• Multi-vendor software control and data acquisition using Varian’s Galaxie™ chromatography data system, and other vendors’ interfaces, eliminates the need for an analog to digital converter.
• Fully compatible with the Varian 920-LC analytical HPLC system for enhanced chromatographic performance.
• Complementary to LC/MS.
• The smallest ELSD footprint frees up bench space for a less cluttered and safer working environment. Simple set up means that you can be up and running in less than five minutes, “straight out of the box”.
