Biotage ELSD-1080
Please note that the test takes approximately 2 hours to
complete and should only be used occasionally to check the
detector’s performance, or when a problem is encountered.
3.5.4 Method Editor Software-Overview
The Biotage ELSD-1080 detector can store 10 custom methods,
which can be selected via the front of the detector or via the
control software. A custom method consists of nebulizer,
evaporator and gas flow settings.
The method editor program allows the user to create, edit and
download these custom methods for method development
purposes or specific applications. The method editor program
can be launched from the control software via the “Launch
Method Editor” icon.

3.5.5 Method Editor-Creating & Storing Methods
To change a custom method on the ELSD-1080, you must first
create a custom "Method Set", (FILE/New). A Method Set
comprises 10 custom methods, which can be customized using
the Method Editor software. A description can be entered for
each method within the method set in order to distinguish
between them.
Having created a method set, the set of methods can be
downloaded to the ELSD via the DOWNLOAD button.
Single methods within a method set cannot be individually
downloaded to the detector. All 10 methods of the Method Set
must be downloaded simultaneously to the Detector.
Each Method Set can be saved as an individual binary format
file with a File Extension (.ELS). By default, saved Method Set
files are stored in the Method folder allocated at the time the
software was installed (C:\Biotage-ELSD\default).
Alternatively, a loaded Method Set can be printed by selecting
the print option from the FILE menu.
