1. A method of detecting and collecting one or more sample components within a sample stream in a chromatography system during a chromatographic run comprising:
- generating a first signal during the chromatographic run from at least one destructive detector, including at least one evaporative particle detector;
generating a second signal during the chromatographic run from at least one non-destructive detector,wherein said non-destructive detector monitors a whole absorbance spectrum or a portion thereof comprising more than one wavelength, and wherein said second signal comprises at least one response value from each of the more than one wavelength; and
collecting the one or more components from the stream in a fraction collector during the chromatographic run in response to a change in at least one of said signals during said chromatographic run.

13. A chromatographic apparatus for detecting and collecting one or more components within a sample stream during a chromatographic run comprising:
-
at least one destructive detector, including at least one evaporative particle detector, to generate a response value during a chromatographic run; at least one non-destructive detector, wherein said non-destructive detector monitors a whole absorbance spectrum or a portion thereof comprising more than one wavelength during a chromatographic run and generates at least one response values from each of the more than one wavelength; a processor to receive said response values and to generate a first signal from the response value received from said destructive detector and to generate a second signal from the at least one response value received from said non-destructive detector; and a fraction collector to collect at least one fraction corresponding to one of said components in response to a change in at least one of said signals during said chromatographic run. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
