Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 Multi-angle Light Scattering Detector
The Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 multi-angle light scattering detector measures absolute molecular weight and size (Rg) of proteins and polymers. Its 20 detector array and vertical flow cell ensure exceptional accuracy.
The Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 brings new standards of performance and greater choice in gel permeation/size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) and. Malvern’s Viscotek range now includes cost-effective, high-performance options for every type of light scattering detection – low angle, right angle and multi angle – allowing Malvern to answer every GPC/SEC challenge with the most appropriate technology. With this extension to its detectors range, Malvern becomes the only vendor to offer all light scattering options.
The Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 has more detectors than any other commercially available MALS system for GPC/SEC. This increased level of detection, particularly at lower angles, gives the best possible data fit for extrapolating molecular weight and size, with gains in accuracy, even at high molecular weights. A vertical flow cell with radial optics gives increased sensitivity and accuracy for low angle detection. Different mobile phases can be used without altering the detector’s optical properties.
The Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 detector is compatible with any commercially available SEC instrument, is available as a standalone unit or integrated into Viscotek GPC/SEC systems and runs with OmniSEC software.

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
