Thermo Scientific Charged Aerosol Detectors
Discover what you’re missing
The analyte detection challengeNo single liquid chromatography (LC) detector delivers ideal results. Often, one analyte responds more strongly than another, or may not respond at all. What is most desired is the ability to detect a wide range of analytes (universal detection) with a response that enables accurate quantitation. Charged aerosol detection is a reliable technology that will change the way you view every sample. The Charged Aerosol Detector (CAD) can detect all non-volatile, and many semi-volatile analytes, with uniform response.
With the flexibility and performance for analytical R&D, and the simplicity and reproducibility needed for manufacturing QA/QC, charged aerosol detection can be used for the analysis of pharmaceuticals (large and small molecule), biomolecules, foods and beverages, specialty chemicals, and polymers.

Unlike mass spectrometry (A) and UV (B), the CAD is able to measure all analytes in the sample. Mass spectrometry (MS) requires the analyte to form gas phase ions while response by a UV detector depends upon the nature of the chromophore.

Charged aerosol detection is a technique capable of measuring any non-volatile and many semi-volatile species. The technology provides more universal detection than UV, which requires a chromophore or mass spectrometry, which requires formation of gas phase ions.
With charged aerosol detection the eluent stream is nebulized, and the droplets are dried to produce analyte particles that are subsequently charged. This technology provides excellent response uniformity since particle charging is effectively independent of a compound’s physicochemical properties.*
Due to its exceptional response uniformity the CAD can be used to quantify multiple analytes using a single calibrant. Single calibrant quantitation is extremely useful when specific analyte standards are unavailable. For example, the response curve of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can be used to determine levels of unknown impurities.
* CAD response is very similar for a given absolute mass of any nonvolatile analyte. Additional correction may be needed for analytes with ionizable functional groups.
Three simple stepsNebulization Charged aerosol detection begins by nebulizing the eluent into droplets, which are subsequently dried into particles. The particle size increases with the amount of analyte.
Charging A stream of charged nitrogen gas collides with the analyte particles. The charge is then transferred to the particles—the larger the particle, the greater the charge.
Detection The charged particles are transferred to a collector where the aggregate charge is measured by a highly sensitive electrometer. This generates a signal directly proportional to the quantity of analyte present.

UHPLC-CAD is a powerful tool used throughout drug discovery and development
• Simultaneously measure anionic and cationic counterions, APIs and impurities
• Determine purity, mass balance, and the stoichiometry of drug formulations
• Speed selection of final product formulations
Many proteins and active biopharmaceutical ingredients possess a chromophore allowing for conventional HPLC with UV/Vis detection. However, there are many instances where the biotherapeutic agent is UV active, but the UV-transparent excipients and critical non-chromophoric natural or chemical modifications to the compound must be detected and measured.
Simultaneous measurement of organic and inorganic counter-cations and counter-anions
Profiling surfactants is made possible with charged aerosol detection. Quantification methods are also available.

LipidsLipids, including fats and oils, contain molecules with a wide variety of structural properties and are found throughout many products and industries. These compounds are traditionally difficult to characterize with conventional detection technologies. Charged aerosol detection is a powerful tool for lipid analysis due to its structure-independent response.
CarbohydratesTraditional approaches for studying sugar fingerprints in foods can be limiting, often utilizing dedicated equipment. The CAD offers the flexibility to use gradient HILIC modes of separation with the simplicity of dilute-and-shoot on any LC system.
Industrial water treatment Polyacrylic acid, a biodegradable water soluble polymer and environmentally toxic agent, is used as an anti-scaling inhibitor in circulating water systems. The low levels present in water samples are difficult to characterize using standard methods. This example shows detection by a CAD at low ppb levels.
Targeted approach: triacylglycerol measurement in pomace Metabolomic approach: differences in triacylglycerol patterns measured by Principal Component Analysis can be used to determine product authenticity and adulteration. Figure shows ability to detect extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) adulteration.

Improve your quantitation without limitation The response of the CAD is independent of an analyte’s chemical structure, but is dependent upon the organic content of the mobile phase. Uniform response of the CAD is therefore affected by changes in solvent composition during gradient elution.
In order to use single calibrant quantitation, changes in detector response during gradient elution needs to be minimized. This is easily achieved using a secondary make up flow post column. This inverse gradient ensures that the detector “sees” a constant mobile phase composition thereby ensuring uniform response.
The Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ Duo UHPLC system for Inverse Gradient provides:
• Confident uniform response with gradient elution using dual pump technology
• Reliable single calibrant quantitation of knowns and unknowns independent of gradient composition
• Simplified method setup with automatic inverse gradient calculation considering all system volumes

Vanquish Duo System for Inverse Gradient
No extra work needed— automatic gradient implementation Chromeleon CDS automatically identifies the inverse gradient instrument configuration and starts the dedicated method wizard. The wizard calculates and applies the inverse gradient to the second pump in the Vanquish Duo System for Inverse Gradient taking into account all internal volumes giving highest quantitation accuracy and maximized ease-of-use.
Chromeleon CDS guides users through the implementation of an inverse gradient method with automatic system volume considerations and gradient formation
Response of the CAD is dependent upon mobile phase composition during a gradient (red bars). An inverse gradient overcomes the effect of the gradient (gray bars) on detector response.
Quantitation accuracy of unknowns using a single calibrantThis requires detector response to be independent of chemical structure:
• UV response depends on the strength of the chomophore, which in turn, is dependent on chemical structure
• CAD response for non-volatiles is independent of chemical structure but does depend upon mobile phase composition
• CAD with an inverse gradient approach results in uniform response that is ideal for single calibrant quantitation
