HPLC Detectors – What, Where, When, and How

The selection of a detector for HPLC is based on the chemical nature of the analytes and any potential interferents that may be present, the limit of detection required, and often the availability and cost of the detector. This webcast will focus on the operation and optimization of the most common detectors. As well as considering the working principles of each detector we will discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and application areas for each detector type. This in-depth review of HPLC detectors will result in a better understanding of the operation, optimization, and detector choice for every application. The parameters that should be optimized for each detector type will be examined to give the optimum performance from the chosen detector. 

Topics include: 

• What detectors are available for HPLC applications
• When and why would you choose one detector over another
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of each detector type
• Which detector parameters require optimization and what is their impact
• Is there an ideal detector?
