Characterization of Protein Stability Using Differential Scanning Calorimetry

One of the major advantages of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is that it depends on heat measurements, which make characterization of native biomolecules possible.

Characterizing Exosomes and Microvesicles with Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis

To arrive at the particle size distribution of samples in a liquid suspension, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) uses the characteristics of both Brownian motion and light scattering. A laser beam is transmitted via a sample chamber and the suspended particles in the beam path disperse light in such a way that is possible to observe clearly using a camera-mounted 20x magnification microscope.

Chromatrap® - Rapid, Consistent, High-Throughput ChIP-seq Assay for Protein-DNA Analysis

One of the major tasks in present-day biology is to map the chromosomal positions of nucleosomes, TFs, chromatin remodeling enzymes, histone modifications, polymerases and chaperones. Genome-wide profiling of histone alterations and DNA-binding proteins is performed using a method called chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing or ChIP-seq.

Using Taylor Dispersion Analysis for Evaluating the Self-Association Behavior of Insulin with Concentration

Taylor dispersion analysis, also referred to as TDA, is an orthogonal method used for stability and sizing analyses of biomolecules in solution. Research has shown that hydrodynamic radius (Rh) measurements obtained from TDA on monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other mono-disperse, unstressed protein-based systems are analogous to data acquired using dynamic light scattering (DLS), a well-known, complementary method.

Using Taylor Dispersion Analysis to Evaluate Stability and Self-Association of Insulin Under Different Formulation Conditions

Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA) is an orthogonal method for stability and sizing analyses of biomolecules in solution. Previous research has shown that hydrodynamic radius (Rh) measurements from TDA on monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other monodisperse systems are similar to data acquired using dynamic light scattering (DLS), a well-known, complementary method.
