Viscotek,
the leader in multiple detector characterisation of polymers and
proteins, have announced a new technical booklet that explores the
principles of measurement and operation of the Low Angle Light Scattering
(LALS) Detector.
Unlike
multi-angle light scattering techniques that can only determine
molecular weight by extrapolation, the LALS technique measures molecular
weight directly and thus is inherently more accurate. Consequently
the technique is of considerable importance to scientists looking
to make routine direct determination of absolute molecular weights
of polymers and proteins.
Written
by Max Haney, an internationally acknowledged authority in the field
of natural and synthetic polymer characterisation by GPC, the booklet
was produced in response to a growing requirement from scientists
for a short and unbiased introduction to the analytical techniques
they use.
The
technical booklet provides an introduction to the theory of light
scattering detection and then leads the reader through a discussion
of why low angle light scattering measurement is important. The
discussion is precisely illustrated with applications examples and
proved with mathematical theory.
