A differential method is presented for the evaluation of small-angle X-ray scattering data. The direct determination of slight changes in the radius of gyration of colloid particles is rendered possible by the method proposed.

The Guinier region in small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) defines the radius of gyration,Rg, and the forward scattering intensity,I(0). In Guinier peak analysis (GPA), the plot ofqI(q)versus q2transforms the Guinier region into a characteristic peak for visual and automated inspection of data. Deviations of the peak position from the theoretical position in dimensionless GPA plots can suggest parameter errors, problematic low-resolution data, some kinds of intermolecular interactions or elongated scatters. To facilitate automated analysis by GPA, the elongation ratio (ER), which is the ratio of the areas in the pair-distribution functionP(r) after and before theP(r) maximum, was characterized; symmetric samples have ER values around 1, and samples with ER values greater than 5 tend to be outliers in GPA analysis. Use of GPA+ER can be a helpful addition to SAXS data analysis pipelines.
