any good/bad experience with laser light scattering devices / particle sizer?

[Gerald Boehm]

Hi Folks,

we are looking for a laser light scattering device ("Particle Sizer") for our 
institute. Instrument is dedicated for the measurement / analysis of virus 
assembly in vitro, so particles from 1 nm to 1 .u.m should be detectable. 
Particle characterization includes molecular weight, particle size, particle 
shape, and distributtion analysis for heterogeneous mixtures. Good software is 
absolute neccessary.

ANYONE GOOD OR BAD EXPERIENCES WITH THESE DEVICES / INSTRUMENTS? All comments 
and company addresses are welcome.
