Products being launched include the new Dawn Sirius multi-angle light scattering (Mals) detector and the DynaPro Dynamic Light Scattering systems for protein characterisation
Wyatt Technology will be unveiling its complete light scattering solutions at Pittcon 2005.
Products being launched include the new Dawn Heleos multi-angle light scattering (Mals) detector and the DynaPro Dynamic Light Scattering systems for protein characterisation.
Debuting at Pittcon 2005 is the DynaPro instrument line (formerly of Proterion/Protein Solutions). Offering the highest sensitivity in dynamic light scattering, it has become the industry standard in the protein crystallisation market.
Traditionally, Wyatt says it has dominated the multi-angle light scattering (Mals) market with its Dawn detectors; however, by incorporating the DynaPro range, the company says it is now able to offer its customers the complete light scattering solution.
Also launching at the show is the new Dawn Heleos Mals detector.
A new generation detector which is capable of determining radius and molar mass results simultaneously.
It is also able to calculate absolute polymer and biopolymer masses directly from the variation of the light scattering.
It works with absolute precision, meaning that there is no need to refer to standards or a priori assumptions, says Wyatt.
Other products being shown will include the ViscoStar viscometer and the Optilab Rex revolutionary refractive index (RI) detector.
The Rex detector became available in October 2004, and is said to have 256 times the detection power and up to 50 times the dynamic range of any other RI detector in existence. The ViscoStar is a new generation of online differential viscometer with contemporary electronics.
It combines high accuracy and can be integrated with Wyatt's multi-angle light scattering (Mals) detectors and Astra software to benefit the biotechnology, chemical/petrochemical, pharmaceutical and medical device industries.
The company will also be showcasing its new Astra V HPLC software system at PittCon 2005.
The software runs all of Wyatt's detectors.
The company says Astra boasts features found in no other chromatography packages, including the reporting of standard deviations of the measurements, band broadening corrections, and proprietary glycosylation/Pegylation algorithms.
Astra also sports the ability to import sample queue quick set information from Waters's Empower software, thereby enabling customers of Waters/Wyatt equipment to share data.
Wyatt Technology believes it is the only manufacturer of light scattering instrumentation which develops its own hardware and software, and the only company in the world focused exclusively on such systems, their design, and application.
