19. Types of HPLC detectors Ability to ionize analyte Low LOD; analyte identification Mass Spec Non-specific; high LOD Commercially available Electrochemical Non-specific; interference from solvent Uniform response; 5ng/25 L LOD Scattering Temperature sensitive; high LOD Works w/ nearly all molecules Refractive Index Many solvents IR active Works w/all molecules IR Not everything fluoresces Very specific; low LOD Fluorescence High LOD Works for all wavelengths DAD Non-specific; complex samples; absorption wavelength Works w/all molecules UV-Vis Name Advantage Disadvantage
