Multi Angle Static Light Scattering

20-angle MALLS instrument suitable
- as GPC/SEC/GFC detector
- as FFF detector
The SLD2020 MALLS (MALS) is a 20-angle static light scattering detector for the measurement of absolute molecular weight, size and conformation of macromolecules in solution. The cylindrical and self-cleaning cell avoids common pitfalls in GPC/SEC-light scattering detection.
Fluorescence filters can be attached for every angle or for every second angle to reduce flourescence effects.
The SLD2020 can be integrated into any GPC/SEC or FFF system. In combination with a concentration detector (UV/DAD or RI) and a viscosity detector the light scattering detector can be used for triple detection and triple plus detection.
Universal applicability
Highlights
GPC/SEC/GFC/FFF Detector
- 20 angle static light scattering detector for the simultaneous detection of the time-averaged scattering intensity at 20 different detection angles (12°, 20°, 28°, 36°, 44°, 52°, 60°, 68°, 76°, 84°, 90°, 100°, 108°, 116°, 124°, 132°, 140°, 148°, 156°, and 164°).
- Self cleaning, stable cell with vertical flow path.
- SLD2020 for all mobile phases (organic/aqueous), SLD2020B bioinert version for harsh analytical conditions and extreme pH values.
- 120 mW, 660 nm, vertically polarized, temperature stabilized light source with precision power control.
- Optional 10 or 20 flourescence filters.
Connect to any LC
Connect to any LC

The SLD2020 can be connected to virtually any LC. Analysis of the data requires at least one additional concentration detector (e.g. RI or UV).
Operation connected to a liquid chromatography system requires WinGPC UniChrom software 8.4 or later for detector control, data acquisition and analysis. WinGPC can manage a variety of LC systems from different suppliers directly obviating the need of several software packages in the lab.
Systems without ChromPilot 3rd Party Control can be connected using the SLD2020 input options:
- 4 analog ins with 24 bit resolution to connect any concentration detector or viscometer
- digital inject in to connect the autosampler or a manual injector
