Virtual Office Hours

Gather on Fridays at 11 AM PST | 2 PM EST for virtual office hours.

We’ll work through a topic of the week (roughly 30 minutes) and discuss any questions that come up along the way. In April & May 2023 we’ll talk about how to care for your SEC-MALS or FFF-MALS system, help you brush up on your ASTRA and DYNAMICS data processing, discuss measuring dn/dc values and why dn/dc is important, and see how stable RI baselines are achievable.

Working with polydisperse samples? We’ll see how to leverage ASTRA’s distribution analysis and results fitting features. Special topics on error analysis, batch MALS work, and more.

Virtual Office Hours are 100% live sessions, with anonymous Q&A welcome during and after the discussion. Free for all Wyatt customers.

Register below! Virtual Office hours are held on select Friday afternoons at 11 AM PST | 2 PM EST.
