Since corona charged aerosol detector (CAD) measures components of elute as well as the analyte, anything elute from column influences the baseline largely. The polymer-based amino column, Asahipak NH2P-50 4E, has very small “bleeding” and thus provides stable baseline without much noise compared to silica-based columns.
