Wyatt Technology Unveils Its Advanced DynaPro Titan Plate Reader at Pittcon 2007

Wyatt Technology Corporation, the world leader in instruments and software for absolute macromolecular characterization, will unveil its completely redesigned DynaPro Titan Plate Reader on booth 1372, Pittcon, 26th February – 2nd March 2007, Chicago, Illinois.

Alongside this innovative development, Wyatt Technology will also be showcasing many of its other unique and products including its family of light scattering systems: the miniDAWN™ TREOS and the DAWN HELEOS. In addition, Wyatt will have its industry-leading ViscoStar viscometer detector and the Optilab rEX differential refractive index detector.

The new DynaPro Plate Reader offers significant improvements over Wyatt’s current DynaPro Titan Plate Reader. The revolutionary instrument—the only one on earth that can make automated dynamic light scattering measurements—is designed to rapidly screen unfractionated samples for applications as diverse as protein crystallography, pharmaceutical formulation and antibody aggregation studies. Moreover, the DynaPro Titan Plate has built-in temperature control, and compatibility with the industry’s leading liquid handling robots. The DynaPro Plate Reader was designed to be used with industry standard microplates of 96 or 384 or 1,536 well plates.

Also present on booth 1372 will be the miniDAWNTM TREOS, a triple-angle light scattering detector for the measurement of absolute molecular weight, size, and conformation of macromolecules in solution. The miniDAWN™ TREOS has over twice the signal to noise ratio and 100x the dynamic range of the previous generation of Wyatt's MiniDAWN products.

Wyatt Technology will also showcase its Optilab rEX Refractive Index (RI) detector, which won the 2005 R&D 100 award as well as the silver Editors’ award at Pittcon in 2004. This innovative product has 256 times the detection power and up to 50 times the dynamic range of any other RI detector in existence.

Also exhibiting on booth 1372 will be the flagship DAWN HELEOS eighteen angle Multi-Angle Light Scattering (MALS) Detector. This detector is the most sensitive on-line light scattering instrument in available, and is able to incorporate both MALS and QELS (Quasi-Elastic Light Scattering) into a single unit.
