The miniDAWN™ multi-angle light scattering (MALS) detector connects to most HPLC, GPC, FPLC or FFF separation systems to determine absolute molecular weight, size, and conformation of peptides, proteins, small polymers and nanoparticles, in solution, without reference to calibration standards.
Eliminate column calibration and idealized assumptions, gain certainty with first-principles MALS analysis. The miniDAWN™ provides high sensitivity, a wide range of measurement, productivity and versatility second only to that of the DAWN™ MALS detector.

IEX-MALS – A method for protein separation and characterization
Ion-exchange chromatography coupled to multi-angle light scattering (IEX-MALS) allows absolute molar mass determination of proteins, protein complexes and peptides in a heterogenous sample. IEX-MALS can overcome some of the restrictions of SEC-MALS that arise from the limited separation ability of analytical SEC column. Explore how the IEX-MALS method is valuable for quality assessment as well as the characterization of native oligomers, charge variants, modified proteins and mixed-protein samples.
