System Information

General Description

Used for the measurement of the size, electrophoretic mobility of proteins, zeta potential of colloids and nanoparticles. Also enables the measurement of the molecular weight and second virial coefficient, A2, of macromolecules and kD, the DLS interaction parameter.

Capabilities

  • Size measurement from 0.3nm (diameter) to 10 microns using patented NIBS (Non-Invasive Back Scatter) technology
  • Zeta potential using patented M3-PALS technology
  • Molecular weight measurement down to 980Da
  • Protein size measurement as dilute as 0.1mg/mL (Lysozyme)
  • Sample concentrations from 0.1ppm to 40% w/v
  • A ‘Quality Factor’ and ‘Expert Advice System’ gives the confidence of having an expert at your shoulder.
  • Research software option to give access to further features and analysis algorithms for the light scattering specialist 633nm laser
  • Temperature range extension option to 120°C
