DAWN®

The world’s most advanced light scattering instrument for absolute characterization of proteins, conjugates, macromolecules, and nanoparticles.

The DAWN and its companion Optilab dRI detector are the established benchmarks for MALS analysis, cited in thousands of peer-reviewed publications. Multi-angle light scattering detection is indispensable for use with GPC and HPLC-SEC in order to obtain reliable molecular mass distributions and information on molecular conformation, branching ratio, fragments and aggregates.
