The main advantage is that detection is performed at ambient temperature, with no risk of degrading or destroying certain heat-sensitive compounds before detection.
Indeed, the specificity of our system is the length and temperature of the evaporator tube: approximately 1.50 m, for 30 °C.
For example, on competing instruments with built-in ELSD, the evaporator tube is only 2 to 3 cm in length and is placed inside a chamber at a controlled temperature of 70-80 °C (this temperature could degrade certain heat-sensitive compounds).
