The molecular weight of proteins, synthetic and natural polymers is a direct indicator of product performance and activity.
Understanding molecular weight determination, absolute molecular weight measurement and other molecular parameters is key to controlling product performance in a wide variety of application areas including:
Static light scattering (SLS) enables absolute molecular weight determination directly in solution, without the need for column separation or external standards. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) complements SLS by providing hydrodynamic size data from the same sample. While DLS does not directly measure molecular weight, the hydrodynamic radius data it delivers can be used to estimate molecular weight using established empirical relationships.
