Brookhaven 200SM

Multi-angle light scattering goniometer for size, shape and molecular weight.

Multi-angle light scattering goniometer for size, shape and molecular weight.

Brookhaven Instruments · BI-200SM goniometer system

What it does

Scattered intensity is measured across a range of angles rather than at a single one. That angular dependence gives access to the radius of gyration, the molecular weight of macromolecules and information about particle shape, quantities a single-angle instrument cannot separate.

Key capabilities

  • Static light scattering across angles
  • Molecular weight determination
  • Radius of gyration and shape information
  • Dynamic light scattering at selectable angles

Applications

Sample types

Dilute solutions of polymers and macromolecules, colloidal suspensions and nanoparticle dispersions.
