ultraDAWN™

he ultraDAWN™ RT-MALS instrument is part of the DAWN family of multi-angle light scattering instruments, incorporating detectors at 18 scattering angles plus one for light transmitted through the flow cell. Unlike the DAWN, miniDAWN and microDAWN instruments which are optimized for use with analytical HPLC and UHPLC, ultraDAWN is appropriate for process environments. It is the only MALS instrument that integrates with OBSERVER™ software, providing solutions for:

  • Macromolecules: Mw (weight-average molar mass) from 103 to 109 g/mol and Rg (rms radius) from 10 to 250 nm
  • Nanoparticles: Z-average radius from 10 to 250 nm and corresponding particle concentration (concentration range depends on particle size)

UltraDAWN offers versatile options for PAT, including:

  • In-line or on-line configuration
  • Process or slipstream flow rates from 0.1 mL/min to 5 mL/min
  • Integration with production control software via OPC

Description

Virus purification

RT-MALS monitors particle radius and triggers when within the specified range, to differentiate from smaller proteins or DNA and larger cell fragments and collect virus-enriched fractions.

TFF concentration

RT-MALS monitors particle concentration in the course of tangential flow filtration. and triggers when above the specified end point, to terminate the process step.

Polysaccharide depolymerization

RT-MALS monitors molecular weight and triggers when below the specified end point, to terminate the homogenization process. See AN8005: RT-MALS end-point determination of a polysaccharide depolymerization process.

Liposome homogenization

RT-MALS monitors radius and triggers if outside the specified range, to divert out-of-spec product from contaminating the collection vessel. See AN8006: In-line monitoring of liposome size by RT-MALS.
