2015 Short Courses

Introductory & advanced ½ day courses: MALS, DLS and more

Introductory and advanced light scattering courses covered introductions to techniques such as SEC-MALS, FFF-MALS, DLS, and CG-MALS, as well as offering refreshers on ASTRA or DYNAMICS software. The series of half-day courses were held at Wyatt Technology HQ, and were not only a great way to prepare for ILSC, but also a good excuse for traveling to Santa Barbara in November!
