I have DLS zeta sizer available using zeta sizer I want to estimate the molecular weight of my polymer, please tell me an efficient and easy way. I have read a little on some websites that it is possible.
You can estimate this from the DLS for some molecules. In essence a comparison for molecule families of size versus molar mass can then be use to estimate the mass from a measured size. However this is only an estimate, so there will be error associated with that estimate. There are a few models in the Zetasizer software, which you can download and install
