Proterion Corporation Acquisition
Santa Barbara, CA November 17, 2004. Wyatt Technology announced today that it had acquired the assets of Proterion Corporation, the manufacturers of the popular line of DynaPro™ (Protein Solutions) dynamic light scattering instruments. The acquisition will immediately broaden the line of light scattering instruments Wyatt will manufacture and support.
Proterion's products, of which there are more than 1,000 installed systems worldwide, will now become part of the Wyatt Technology family. The manufacturing facility in High Wycombe, United Kingdom, as well as assets from the New Jersey offices of Proterion will be transferred to Wyatt Technology's headquarters in Santa Barbara. Several staff from the UK and New Jersey are also expected to join Wyatt Technology shortly.
Geofrey Wyatt, President said "We are excited by the prospect of integrating Proterion's products into our own offerings. Their instruments are in the most distinguished research labs worldwide. Given the strength of our marketing, sales and support, we expect that we will make the DynaPro™ instruments even more popular in the coming years."

2004 South Santa Barbara County Small Business of the Year
Wyatt Technology, the industry leader in solutions for absolute macromolecular characterization, has been voted 2004 South Santa Barbara County Small Business of the Year at the Spirit of Small Business Awards in the Los Angeles District.
The awards are run annually by the Pacific Coast Business Times and the Los Angeles District United States Small Business Administration in order to reward sustainable enterprise, industry leadership and community awareness in small businesses in the Tri-County region.
Wyatt, a 22-year old family-run business, prides itself on its dynamism, enthusiasm and groundbreaking technology--all attributes synonymous with the spirit of this award. The company was eligible for two other categories but the panel felt that the company was community-orientated and reflected the technology focus of the region. It therefore decided to acknowledge Wyatt's achievements by presenting the company with this accolade.
Silver Award Winner at Pittcon 2004, the Optilab rEX!
As the Editor's of PittCon wrote: Wyatt Technology picked up the Silver Award for its Optilab rEX extended range refractive index detector. Through a novel redesign of 40 year old RI detector technology, the company has developed an instrument with 256 times the detection power and up to 50 times the dynamic range of every other RI detector in existence today.

Virus Particle Sizing Application Note This latest application note demonstrates that by connecting an Eclipse Particle Separation System to a DAWN EOS instrument you can separate and characterize virus particles without making erroneous assumptions about the particles or their distributions. In this note we examine two different virus particle solutions that were unable to be analyzed using conventional QELS or TEM, but were beautifully analyzed using this powerful system. |

Membrane Proteins Application Note This latest application note shows that our instruments are perfectly suited to characterizing membrane proteins in solution. In this application note we demonstrate the use of multi-angle light scattering (MALS) detection in combination with UV absorption and differential refractive index (DRI) detection to determine the molar masses (MM) of both the core protein and the entire protein-lipid complex. |
