Multi-Angle Light Scattering Made Easy

When coupled with gel permeation/size exclusion chromatography, light scattering detection allows the measurement of true – or “absolute” – molecular weight (MW) of macromolecules, as opposed to the relative values obtained from conventional column calibration methods. The LenS3 MALS detector is a static multi-angle light scattering detector compatible with any UHPLC, HPLC, SEC, or GPC systems, designed to determine molecular weight and size within the range of 200-108 g/mol and 2-300 nm. This guide describes the technology, features, and functions of the LenS3 MALS Detector, along with application data examples. Learn how easy it is to utilize MALS in your polymer characterization.
