Evolved integrated multi-detection› RALS/LALS detector measures molecular weight and has the

sensitivity for small scatterers and is independent of anisotropic scattering for large scatterersscattering for large scatterers

› Triple detection offers additional measurements of: Hydrodynamic radius Mark-Houwink plotsp

› Integration benefits Better control of temperature = better chromatography Integrated detectors mean reduced tubing length and reduced band broadening g g g g

= better results (significantly improved in OMNISEC) Robust detector cells and all in series means better sensitivity
