# Analysis by LC-ELSD in laboratory

## You want to perform an analysis by LC-ELSD

### Why perform an LC-ELSD analysis ?

First of all, the acronym ELSD stands for **Evaporative Light Scattering Detector**. ELSD is a detector used in [HPLC](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-uplc.md) analysis.

LC-ELSD analysis is preferred over other detection methods for analysis such as **carbohydrate**, **natural sugar** and **polymer** analysis.

This is because, as a **mass detector**, ELSD has advantages over other detection methods such as UV detection, which requires analytes to contain chromophores, and it is not affected by mobile phase variations and gradient baseline shift.

LC-ELSD analysis is therefore a versatile and powerful analytical technique.
