“…Recently, applications of evaporative light scattering detectors (ELS) have increased dramatically due to the possibility of replacing the RI detector and the greater flexibility of ELS [21,22]. ELS detection has been used to successfully quantitate synthetic polymers [23], carbohydrates [19,24], fats and fatty acid esters [25,26], triglycerides [27], and steroids [28]. However, even though both detection technologies are available, no methods have been reported using size exclusion chromatography wherein ELS and RI detection have been compared for quantitation of HPC.…”
