High performance polymer, protein
characterisation
Viscotek will present its latest range of high performance detectors, software and systems for characterisation of polymers, proteins and nanoparticles at the Analytica 2006 and Achema 2006 in Germany
Viscotek says it is the global leader in gel permeation chromatography (GPC) / size exclusion chromatography (SEC) detectors, software and systems for the characterisation of polymers, copolymers, proteins, protein conjugates and nanoparticles In a single experiment, researchers can use Viscotek's unique and patented static light scattering, dynamic light scattering, viscometer, triple detector and tetra detector technologies to obtain absolute molecular weight, molecular size, intrinsic viscosity, conformation, structure, branching, aggregation and copolymer composition

Viscotek has announced new technical data that demonstrates how its unique low angle light scattering (Lals) detector achieves results not possible using traditional light scattering technologies.
Characterisation of natural and synthetic polymers
The Rimax gel permeation / size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) is a powerful tool for the conventional characterisation of polymers, copolymers, proteins, nanoparticles and other macromolecules
Visitors to Analytica stand A1.138 and Achema stand C19 (Hall 5.1) will have the chance to see and discuss Viscotek's market leading multi-detector GPC/SEC systems including the Triple Detector Array (TDA), the GPCmax and the latest revision of Omnisec software.
Viscotek triple detection systems, which employ a concentration detector, viscometer and light scattering detector operating in concert, are today the defacto standard for the characterisation of natural and synthetic polymers and proteins in the petrochemical, specialty chemical, elastomers, adhesives, coatings, food, agricultural, academic, pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets.
Also on display will be the Model 802 DLS with new OmniSize 2.0 software that includes a range of new features including a unique regularisation algorithm.
Offering superior sensitivity, resolution and accuracy, born out of Viscotek's exclusive single mode fibre (SMF) technology, the Model 802 DLS delivers leading edge results for applications including screening protein constructs for crystallisation, characterisation of colloidal and nanoparticulate drug delivery systems, protein conformation analysis and measuring the stability and size of lipids and conjugates.
