Wyatt Technology has published a brochure to support its dynamic light scattering (DLS) instrument, the DynaPro NanoStar. The brochure, which is entitled ‘DynaPro NanoStar: The Most Widely Used Dynamic Light Scattering Instrument Just Got Better’, is available free of charge via www.wyatt.com or info@wyatt.com.

The comprehensive, eight-page document outlines the NanoStar’s wide range of applications, including screening proteins prior to crystallisation trials, bioprocessing and quality control of viral particles and vaccines, exploring antibody formulations, characterising stable protein formulations and aggregating compounds. The brochure claims the NanoStar surpasses the performance of conventional batch DLS instruments, delivering optimum versatility and stability with more than twice the signal-to-noise of its predecessors to ensure consistently high performance.

Wyatt’s informative collateral details how the new NanoStar works, explaining how simple it is to install on a laboratory network and operate from anywhere with an internet connection. In addition, the brochure provides a thorough insight into the many benefits of the novel instrument resulting from its multimode optical fibre, auto-attenuation and rapid thermal characterisation capabilities.

The NanoStar incorporates two light scattering detectors in its optical system, offering the advantage of measuring hydrodynamic radii and absolute molecular weights simultaneously. The instrument can also be attached to Wyatt’s Dawn Heleos or miniDawn Treos multi-angle light scattering systems (MALS) for simultaneous online MALS and DLS characterisation.
