| Description | Couple the miniDAWN™ to your favorite HPLC or FPLC to determine the absolute molar masses and sizes of macromolecules and nanoparticles in solution from hundreds to millions of Daltons—without the need for column calibration standards. This sensitive unit requires as little as 25 ng injected Couple the miniDAWN™ to your favorite HPLC or FPLC to determine the absolute molar masses and sizes of macromolecules and nanoparticles in solution from hundreds to millions of Daltons—without the need for column calibration standards. This sensitive unit requires as little as 25 ng injected sample, 100 kDa polystyrene in THF (varies for other samples and solvents). The miniDAWN is engineered with self-contained modules that are easily replaced making it field serviceable. The system-ready monitors soise levels in real-time and an all-green status indicator lets you know when your system is ready for data collection. The optional DLS module uses the WyattQELS™ module, which fits inside the miniDAWN to providing on-line dynamic light scattering for determining radii down to 0.5 nm. All light scattering cells are subject to contamination by particles and to combat this issue the instrument has a self-cleaning, embedded COMET™ ultrasonic module. For maximum reliability and uptime, program the miniDAWN to automatically clean the cell after every run. The units may also be combined with a Calypso™ composition-gradient system to characterize biomolecular interactions....

Using multi-angle static light scattering (MALS) and optional dynamic light scattering (DLS), DAWN analyzes molar massThe DAWN™ instrument is an advanced detector for precise characterization of proteins, polymers, and nanoparticles including viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles and vesicles. Using multi-angle static light scattering (MALS) and optional dynamic light scattering (DLS), DAWN analyzes molar mass, size, conformation, particle concentration, conjugation (e.g. glycoproteins) or encapsulation (e.g. AAV capsid content). It stands out with exceptional sensitivity and the widest range of molecular weight, size, and concentration of any MALS instrument, paired with a broad selection of configurations and optional modules for enhanced capabilities.
The DAWN is most often used in conjunction with gel permeation chromatography (GPC-MALS), size exclusion chromatography (SEC-MALS) or an EclipseTM, field-flow fractionation instrument (FFF-MALS) and may also be used with ion-exchange chromatography or reverse-phase chromatography. The instrument includes a high-resolution, touch-screen front panel to display data graphs, system health and instrument diagnostics and is accompanied by ASTRA™, the most versatile software package available for analysis of online multi-angle and dynamic light scattering....

This instrument offers superb sensitivity over a wide range of molar mass, size and concentrations. In most respects, the microDAWN is similar to the well-established miniDAWN, a workhorse MALS instrument used in hundreds of labs around the world for characterizing proteins and other molecules smaller than 50 nm in radius. The microDAWN is uniquely suitable for use in conjunction with UHPLC Size Exclusion Chromatography (µSEC-MALS) thanks to its small interdetector dispersion and produces minimal band broadening in order to maintain the narrow peaks typical of UHPLC. In some cases it may be used with ion-exchange or other types of chromatography.... Read More |
