Hi Ed,
We are using a Viscotek DLS902. It seems to be robust against all
types of user- and sample-unfriendliness…. So we’re quite happy at
the moment.
The advantage of the system is, that you can use standard cuvettes
e.g. fluorescence 3-window-cuvettes from Hellma with standard window heights.
To get a nice signal we usually use black quarz cuvettes with approx.
70-100µl volume. We also use the 12µl cuvettes which are nice to have in case
of lack of sample - but also hard to clean.
I think there’s also a model for 96well quarz-plates
available…
è here’s the URL: http://www.viscotek.com/dlsdet-sw.aspx
If you want to have more info about the 902, just write me a
direct email…

Betreff: [ccp4bb] DLS options?
Dear
BB,
Sorry
for the off topic question:
I
would like to buy a Dynamic Light Scattering system.
Could
people suggest which they like the best and/or which is best value?
I
have in the past used a Protein Solutions Dyna Pro with micro cuvette (I would
like a micro cuvette option). However, it was very sensitive to dust and
bubbles, and the cuvette collects dust…
I’ve
never tried the one from Precision Detectors.
Any
other options?
Thanks
Ed
