Abstract:
Multi-angle light scattering (MALS) is an excellent technique for non-invasive characterization of macromolecules and a wide range of particles in solution. In combination with separation by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), MALS enables the determination of molar mass distributions without relying on reference standards, making it invaluable for the analysis of polymers, proteins, and polysaccharides.
In this seminar the theory and technology of MALS will be reviewed, then specific applications in the characterization of polysaccharides, proteins, and polymers will be presented.
