Dual Angle Static and Dynamic Light Scattering

Dual angle light scattering GPC/SEC/GFC detector for static light scattering and optional dynamic light scattering.
The MDS390 is an integrated 15° and 90° static light scattering detector for the measurement of absolute molecular weight of macromolecules in solution. It can be used with any type of GPC/SEC/GFC or FFF system.
The instrument can come with up to three detectors (light scattering, viscometry, RI) at once or can be field upgraded any time a new technique is required. Any detector combination is possible. Each MDS detector can be individually heated from 30 – 60 °C to ensure baseline stability. All detectors can be used in series, ensuring all of the analyte is studied.
A bioninert version supporting dual angle static and 90° dynamic light scattering is ideally suited for the analysis of biopolymers and proteins.
Universal applicability
Highlights
Integrated Dual Angle LS Detector

- Integrated static light scattering for the detection of the time-averaged scattering intensity at 15° and 90° detection angle.
- optional dynamic light scattering for the determination of the hydrodynamic radius at 90° detection angle.

- various configurations matching all requirements, from LS only up to triple detection.
- field upgrade options for viscometry and RI detection.
Connect to any LC
Connect to any LC

The MDS390 can be connected to virtually any LC.
Operation connected to a liquid chromatography system requires WinGPC UniChrom software for detector control, data acquisition and analysis. WinGPC can manage a variety of LC systems directly.
Systems without ChromPilot 3rd Party Control can be connected using either PSS data acquisition hardware or the 2 analog ins of the MDS390
Data analysis requires WinGPC UniChrom software with the multi angle light scattering module.
