An Invitation to the Waters | Wyatt Light Scattering Seminar in Munich.

Join us for a day of scientific insight and practical learning focused on the latest analytical approaches for proteins, nanoparticles, and advanced therapeutic modalities. Through expert presentations and real-world applications, discover how cutting-edge technologies can help you confidently characterise molecular size, aggregation, stability, composition, and product quality.

The programme will cover light scattering fundamentals and emerging developments, high-throughput protein stability screening, SEC-MALS characterisation of complex therapeutics (including ADCs and AOCs), and comprehensive analysis of nanoparticle drug delivery systems. 

You'll also explore FFF-MALS for challenging samples, advanced workflows for GLP-1 therapeutics, CDMS and particle identification technologies for very large biomolecules, alongside practical best practices, troubleshooting strategies, and method development tips for SEC-MALS, FFF-MALS, and DLS.

Whether you're developing biologics, peptide therapeutics, or nanoparticle-based delivery systems, this forum offers valuable insights, practical guidance, and opportunities to connect with fellow scientists facing similar analytical challenges.
