Continuous flow systems have easily been coupled to a evaporative light sca
ttering detector for screening purposes. The interface was constructed by m
eans of a high pressure line consisting of a high pressure pump and a high
pressure six-port injection valve. This design allows sample preparation (c
lean-up and preconcentration) and separation to be done automatically. The
universal response provided by the detector permits the screening of a vari
ety of analytes in different samples. (C)1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig
