Dr. Steven Trainoff

Dr. Steven Trainoff, Scientific Fellow at Waters Corporation

Dr. Trainoff develops analytical instruments for Waters Corporation, which acquired Wyatt Technology last year. These instruments are used to characterize macromolecules by measuring static light scattering, dynamic light scattering, differential viscosity, and refractive index. They can be used to measure molar mass, molecular size, diffusion constants, aggregation state, and conformation. This technology is used by a diverse set of industries including pharmaceutical and vaccine research, synthetic polymers, nanotechnology, and material science. Instrumentation Dr. Trainoff developed is in active use in eight Nobel Prize winner’s labs. His PhD is in physics from UCSB.
