Anasys Instruments reports on EPFL’s latest research on lysozyme droplets and α-synuclein macromolecular aggregates illustrating application of the nanoscale AFM-IR technique to demonstrate α to β secondary structure transition associated with amyloid formation.
Proteins aggregating into amyloid structures are involved in important neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. During aggregation, initially monomeric proteins undergo internal structural rearrangement forming amyloid fibrils with a universal cross β -sheet quaternary structure. During fibrillation, several coexisting amyloidogenic species are formed and the study of these species would allow...

Wyatt Technology Corporation, the world leader in absolute macromolecular characterization instrumentation has published the results of a new study outlining the simultaneous measurement of protein charge and diffusion interaction parameter (kD) to determine the colloidal stability of two formulations with different long-term stability behavior.
Traditionally, these two properties are measured independently in laborious experiments requiring manual sample preparation and loading. The Möbius® from Wyatt Technology uses massively-parallel phase-analysis light scattering (MP-PALS) in conjunction with an autosampler to automate this combined measurement. The Möbius is therefore an ideal tool for protein characterization and is unique in its ability to provide a complete picture of...

At fast injection rates of representatively large sample volumes into a high-temperature combustion system classical TOC analyzers reach their limits.
But the patented VITA® Flow Management System makes the IR absorption flow-independent by compensating flow fluctuations. Thus, the measurement signal is completely independent of the injection volume and speed. Easy Cal enables multi-point calibration generated from one single standard solution. The method calibration remains valid, even if the injection volume for sample measurement was changed. The catalyst lifetime is long, the calibration effort is low, and the long term stability for TOC calibration reduces the calibration effort...
