Figure 6 Overlay <strong>of</strong> time-sliced peak output from a dual (DRI/LALLS) detector system.<br />

greater the polydispersity, the poorer the estimate <strong>of</strong> M N (28–30). In performing<br />

SEC/LALLS on high molecular weight poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), Senak et al. (28)<br />

demonstrated that this phenomenon is caused by the lack <strong>of</strong> sensitivity <strong>of</strong> the<br />

LALLS detector toward the low molecular weight portion <strong>of</strong> a broad distribution<br />

(D ¼ 6:0). As shown in Fig. 7, the DRI detector is still responding (the shaded<br />

area) in a region where the LALLS detector is not. As discussed by Hamielec et al.,<br />

Figure 7 Relative sensitivity <strong>of</strong> a LALLS vs. a DRI detector for a broadly dispersed<br />

sample <strong>of</strong> poly(vinyl pyrrolidone).<br />
