Molecular mass analysis of red blood cells by Static light scattering (SLS) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0586-WXH)

Introduction

A type of blood cell that is made in the bone marrow and found in the blood. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Checking the number of red blood cells in the blood is usually part of a complete blood cell (CBC) test.

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
