Wyatt Technology invites customers to its Santa Barbara laboratory to attend the 'light scattering university', where they can hone their skills in light scattering theory and its applications
Wyatt Technology offers all purchasers of its light scattering instrumentation the opportunity to attend a three day course at its unique light scattering university (LSU).
Demonstrating Wyatt's ongoing commitment to its clients, LSU signifies the beginning of the exceptional customer service that all purchasers of a Wyatt instrument enjoy, according to the company.
Light scattering is a non-invasive technique used for the characterisation of macromolecules and a wide range of particles in solution.
It provides an accessible alternative to traditional chromatography methods and presents absolute results as there is no need to refer to arbitrary standards.
The LSU is said to be the only one of its kind, and will greatly benefit those who have recently purchased a Dawn or Minidawn light scattering instrument.
By enrolling on this three-day course, attendees will develop their knowledge of light scattering theory and its applications, as well as meeting with others working in similar industries that also use light scattering.
This course offers participants three days of intensive hardware and software training at Wyatt's Santa Barbara laboratory.
Some of the topics covered will be:.
How to analyse unfractionated samples through batch or microbatch techniques.
How to characterise polymers and macromolecules using Wyatt Software.
Quasi-elastic light scattering (Qels) for the determination of hydrodynamic radius.
Application-specific seminars covering field-flow fractionation (FFF) techniques, treatment of light-absorbing and polarising samples, conjugated proteins, and more.
The history of light scattering and a tour of what Wyatt calls the world's most extensive light scattering museum, conducted and narrated by the company's founder, Philip Wyatt.
Geof Wyatt, president of Wyatt Technology, says of LSU: "At Wyatt, we recognise that no matter how advanced and unique our light scattering instruments may be, customer knowledge is vital to ensuring our instruments are fully utilised.
"By attending LSU, our customers meet the people who designed the very first commercial light scattering instruments, the people who write the software, build the hardware, and service and support the products. "In short, LSU enables our customers to gain the full potential of this technology".
Seminars are held at the LSU every month.
