PL-ELS 2100 Ice

PL-ELS 2100 Ice Evaporation at Sub Ambient Temperatures The PL-ELS 2100 Ice comprises an Integrated Cooled Evaporator in combination with the ‘evaporation gas’ technology to provide sub-ambient operation The ‘evaporation gas’ is increased to compensate for the increase in relative humidity at sub-ambient temperatures This approaches enables the PL-ELS 2100 Ice to operate at sub-ambient temperatures and as low as 10°C.

Even at ambient temperature the response of semi-volatile, low-molecular weight analytes can be poor. So the PL-ELS 2100 Ice has been designed to operate at sub- ambient temperature to improve the detection of semi-volatile compounds Introduction

PL-ELS 2100 Ice Design Features Nebulisation Same nebuliser as PL-ELS 2100 Temperature Range: 25-90°C Evaporation Integrated Cooled Evaporator Tube Temperature range: 10-80°C Active Heating/Cooling Same evaporation gas technology as PL-ELS 2100

PL-ELS 2100 Ice Design Feature for Sub-Ambient Operation Aqueous eluents can be removed at 15°C Organic solvents (e.g. THF) can be evaporated as low as 10°C The benefit of operating below room temperature provides maximum sensitivity for low-molecular weight semi-volatile compounds.

PL-ELS 2100 Ice Design Feature for Sub-Ambient Operation The PL-ELS 2100 Ice can heat or cool rapidly, which reduces equilibration time. 35°C to 10°C in 10 minutes 15°C to 80°C in 11 minutes Accurate temperature control of evaporator temperature eliminates external temperature effects

PL-ELS 2100 Ice FOR VOLATILE SOLUTES Sub-ambient Evaporator temperatures required °C – PL-ELS 2100 Ice Gas flow optimised for sub-ambient temperatures and mobile phase – 100% requires 2.2SLM of gas Compounds with high vapour pressures, low MW pharmaceuticals, pesticides, hydrocarbons

Sub-Ambient Applications  The S/N ratio for thermally sensitive compounds such as Acetanilide is improved at sub-ambient temperatures  In addition, the response of compound’s with high boiling points and high volatility, such as Alkanes, is dramatically improved.  Hence, ELSD temperatures need to be as low as possible, to minimise volatility effects.

Sub-Ambient Applications: Acetanilide (MW 135)

Sub-Ambient Applications: Alkanes

Additional Benefits of the PL-ELS 2100 Ice Sub-ambient operation down to 10°C for maximum sensitivity to volatile compounds Active heating/cooling provides rapid equilibration between analyses. Improved accuracy of quantification.
