Molecular mass analysis of Cyclodextrins by Static light scattering (SLS) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0566-WXH)

Introduction

Cyclodextrins are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides, consisting of a macrocyclic ring of glucose subunits joined by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Cyclodextrins are produced from starch by enzymatic conversion. They are used in food, pharmaceutical, drug delivery, and chemical industries, as well as agriculture and environmental engineering.

Principle

Static light scattering is a technique in physical chemistry that measures the intensity of the scattered light to obtain the average molecular weight Mw of a macromolecule like a polymer or a protein in solution. Measurement of the scattering intensity at many angles allows calculation of the root mean square radius, also called the radius of gyration Rg. By measuring the scattering intensity for many samples of various concentrations, the second virial coefficient, A2, can be calculated.

Applications

The main applications of static light scattering is molecular mass determination of macromolecules, such as proteins and polymers, as it is possible to measure the molecular mass of proteins without any assumption about their shape.

Procedure

1. Sample preparation
2. Measurement by SLS instrument
3. Data analysis
