50 Billion Photons Can't be Wrong!
Based on Wyatt Technology’s family of multi-angle light scattering detectors, the new DAWN HELEOS-II boasts 18-angles of detection for the greatest sensitivity for absolute molecular weight and size determinations of polymers and biopolymers in solution. It may be connected in series to any chromatographic system in order to determine absolute molar masses without the use of reference standards or column calibration.

It may be connected in series to any chromatographic system in order to determine absolute molar masses without the use of reference standards or column calibration.
The instrument incorporates a special 120mW gallium arsenide laser operating at a wavelength of 658 nm. This laser, together with its unique optical collimator, produces light-scattering signals superior to those obtained with any other light scattering instrument.
The HELEOS-II uses Wyatt Technology’s patented laser stabilization electronics and a proprietary optical system to create a beam with intensity stability and spatial mode purity that rivals the best gas lasers.
The HELEOS-II is completely new, both inside and out. A compact cabinet design features HPLC fittings on the front which permit easier connecting to industry-leading HPLC systems. The HELEOS-II may be ordered with precise sample temperature control from –30° C to 150°, or from ambient to 210° C. In addition, the HELEOS-II has a bright, 64,000 color LCD display that shows current system states, chromatographic conditions, operating status and more.
The DAWN HELEOS-II instruments join Wyatt Technology’s unique light scattering systems which include the miniDAWN TREOS, as well as the Optilab rEX—the only refractive index detector available that can be built to operate at any wavelength selected by the customer.

Inside the Laboratory: The Stone Laboratory Group at the University of Iowa
September 13th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Betsy Stone, PhD, a professor of chemistry at the University of Iowa, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including developing a new liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) method to track secondary organic aerosol that forms in the atmosphere from D5.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Detangling the Complex Web of GC×GC Method Development to Support New Users
September 12th 2024The introduction of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) to the sample screening toolbox has substantially increased the ability to comprehensively characterize complex mixtures. However, for many gas chromatography (GC) users, the thought of having to learn to develop methods on a new technology is daunting. Developing a basic GC×GC method for most (nonspecialized) applications can be accomplished in minimal time and effort given parameter suggestions and ranges to target analytes in a sample of interest. In this article, the authors work describe a simple workflow to develop a GC×GC method for a specific sample upon initial use, with the aim of decreasing the time to accomplish functional workflows for new users.
