The ground-breaking sensitivity of Malvern Instruments’ new OMNISEC gel permeation chromatography/size exclusion chromatography system generated significant excitement from scientists meeting at the Seventh International Symposium on the Separation and Characterization of Natural and Synthetic Macromolecules (SCM-7), when the system made a well-received debut late in January.
“Delegates were particularly enthusiastic about OMNISEC’s sensitivity,” said Paul Clarke, Industrial Portfolio Manager at Malvern Instruments. “Announcing ‘the most sensitive light scattering detector on the market’ is one thing but seeing what that actually means in practice is another. Demonstrations of the system measuring the molecular weight (MW) of a 100,000 Da Polystyrene standard with just a 100 ng of sample made a big impression and...
