Low molecular weight polystyrene characterized by SEC-MALS

Waters | Wyatt Technology
22 Jul 2020

This application note highlights that the fundamental physical principles of light scattering employed in a DAWN® or miniDAWN® multi-angle light scattering (MALS) instrument enable low molecular weight materials to be characterized effectively without the need for column calibration or reference standards. Thanks to their advanced electro-optical design, samples with molecular weights below two thousand Daltons can be measured easily and with remarkable precision

Size Exclusion ChromatographySize exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a liquid chromatographic technique used to separate and identify molecules based on their size, including polymers, proteins, nanoparticles & nucleic acid. SEC is further subdivided into gel filtration chromatography (GFC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) when an aqueous or organic mobile phase is used respectively. HPLC-based SEC systems and columns are available for analytical separation alongside SEC spin columns or filters to prep samples for many protocols.
