Multi-Angle Laser Light Scattering (MALLS)

Today we found out that the scintillation vial method for the MALLS is becoming a reality. We are getting closer and closer to the final software control of the instrument. The hardware is working great, we just need to calibrate the MALLS and the Wyatt Optilab DSP Interferometric RI instrument. I am hopeful that CARLOS & LAURA will be able to set these up. Given all of the demands on my time, I can't spend much more time on it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that these instruments are set up. This will be an ideal way to obtain polymer molecular weight data for our educational work. We will be able to instruct not only graduate students, but undergraduates, and high school students (Environmentees). These days it will be important to characterize the materials that we are working with and it will be simple enough to do that once CARLOS & LAURA set it up...
