Did you know the first Charged Aerosol Detector (CAD) was introduced in 2005? Now, two decades later, this near-universal detector is an essential part of the analytical chemist's quantitative toolbox. Hear Frank Steiner and Paul Gamache, one of the original inventors, speak about the impact of HPLC-CAD technology on separation science. You’ll get a look into the history of the invention, including when the detector found a place for everyday use by separation scientists, and how the CAD compares to ELSD. More technical parts of the talk will teach you why settings like the evaporation temperature drive application versatility, and how the power function affects linearity and response curves.
Key learning objectives
- Discover the benefits of using charged aerosol detection for impurity analysis.
- Learn key parameters to get higher quantitative accuracy in your results.
- Experience new product developments by one of the key inventors!
