WYATT Technology WD3

Item#: 28588
Tag: HPLC Evaporative Light Scattering Detector

Description

The DAWN and its companion Optilab dRI detector are the established benchmarks for MALS analysis, cited in thousands of peer-reviewed publications. Multi-angle light scattering detection is indispensable for use with GPC and HPLC-SEC in order to obtain reliable molecular mass distributions and information on molecular conformation, branching ratio, fragments and aggregates.

Specifications:

Measurements:

• Molar Mass Range: 200 Da to 1 GDa 1 
• Molecular Size Range (R g ): ≈ 10 to 500 nm, up to 1000 nm with shape-specific models
• Molecular Size Range (R h ): In flow mode, 0.5 nm to 300 nm 2 ; batch mode 0.5 nm to 1 μm (requires WyattQELS DLS module or DynaPro NanoStar + fiber optic connection).
• Sensitivity: 10 ng of 100 kDa polystyrene in THF or 200 ng of BSA in PBS, assuming standard 7.8 mm x 300 mm SEC column and no post-column filter

Fluidics: 

Detectors;

• MALS Detectors: High-gain, high dynamic range photodiodes at 18 detection angles.
• Auxiliary Detectors: Laser monitor for stabilization feedback; forward transmission monitor to correct signals for absorbing samples and to assess data quality.
• Dynamic Range: 3,300,000:1
• DLS Detector (optional): WyattQELS dynamic light scattering module installs directly inside the DAWN chassis. Alternatively, the optical fiber pickup of the DynaPro NanoStar cuvette-based DLS instrument or Mobius DLS-ELS instrument may be installed in the DAWN.
