Analysis by LC-Corona in laboratory

First of all, the LC-Corona is a special model of LC-CAD. The acronym LC-CAD stands for Liquid Chromatography with Charged Aerosol Detector. 

The associated device is used to detect molecules of interest in mixtures. It is used in combination with a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system that performs the separation of molecules in solution.

The CAD Corona is a detector that can be used in LC, HPLC and UPLC analysis. It generates a signal based on the charges from the molecules and produces a graph of the signal intensity versus time. This detector works with a wide variety of molecules since it does not need a specific structure on the analyte to detect it. It is therefore versatile in analytical chemistry. The analysis by LC-Corona can thus be applied to a great variety of sectors such as pharmaceutical.

Indeed, the analysis by LC-Corona allows the detection, but also the quantification of the analyzed molecules.
