7 September 2010: Malvern, UK: A newly available application note from Malvern Instruments explains why, when measuring samples using Gel Permeation Chromatography/Size Exclusion Chromatography (GPC/SEC), low angle light scattering (LALS) is the only LS technique that actually measures a scattered light intensity directly proportional to molecular weight. The application note “LALS or why closer is better”, is free to download from Malvern’s extensive knowledge base at: http://www.malvern.com/common/downloads/campaign/MRK1396-01.pdf
