The Mark–Houwink plot – Differentiation of Branching and Composition

Using OMNISEC, we will show how to separate the effects of a structural difference induced by a compositional change to a polymer (e.g. substitution) and the structural change induced by polymer chain branching.

The Beginner’s Guide to ICP-MS

| Robert Thomas

You’ve convinced your boss that your laboratory absolutely needs a shiny new quadrupole-based, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) system for trace element analysis. Now what?

The big reveal: Workhorse + Innovation = more information (Part 1)

A concern raised by the rise in routine MRI screening within the healthcare industry is that the ability to detect abnormalities within the body may currently be running ahead of our understanding of their possible consequences, making it difficult to determine a sound course of action. Here then analytical science is arguably advancing beyond current requirements.

Chromatography: Winning Every Battle, Losing the War?

| Hans-Gerd Janssen

Other techniques are beating chromatography and mass spectrometry to the hero’s reward all too often. Are they better? No. Are they faster to first result? Yes. Is it time to acknowledge that – on the frontlines – fit-for-purpose triumphs over best-in-class? You decide.

Measuring protein molecular weight using the Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 connected to a Waters Empower® SEC system

In this application note, we show that Malvern’s OmniSEC software can now communicate with Waters Empower® for the seamless exchange of sample sequences. A selection of proteins was used to demonstrate the measurement of protein molecular weight, oligomeric and aggregation state.
