May 31, 2017 - When two technology leaders team up to advance the state of the art in polymer and biopharmaceutical characterization, customers can expect to see some real benefits coming down the pipeline. Wyatt and Waters have been collaborating for some time on joint educational efforts around UPLC®, APC and the μDAWN®, but now it is official. In the words of Cliff Wyatt, Executive Vice President of Wyatt Technology, “We’re delighted to be partnering these ‘best in class’ products to improve the accuracy and throughput of our mutual customers.” Click here to read the press release on our co-marketing agreement with Waters.

May 19, 2017 - Introducing the next generation miniDAWN: the miniDAWN® TREOS® II. In designing the TREOS II, your productivity was our guiding light. The TREOS II is modular and field-serviceable, adds ease-of-use features to make SEC-MALS even easier, and is upgradeable to a μDAWN. This new instrument is also more sensitive than the previous TREOS and has a larger range of size (hydrodynamic radius) measurement.

May 9, 2017 - Protein-protein binding studies are only as good as the quality of the reagents used in the experiments. Great resources in terms of instrumentation, sample production and scientist time are typically invested in high-throughput screening of antibodies or fragments to obtain optimal therapeutic candidates, perform epitope binning and rank candidates by affinity and kinetics. However, often little attention is paid to verifying protein solution quality—which can lead researchers down the proverbial rabbit hole, chasing after ephemeral or anomalous results that are caused by degraded proteins.

April 13, 2017 – Wyatt Technology, in partnership with the University of Minnesota, presented a polymer characterization seminar in the Twin Cities to over fifty scientists and engineers. Dr. Jeff Ahlgren was the keynote speaker and discussed ways in which size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) or gel permeation chromatography (GPC) coupled with multi-angle light scattering (MALS), refractive index (RI) and differential viscometry can be a powerful technique in determining important polymer characteristics such as: absolute molar mass, size, branching and conformation. Many of our long time and loyal customers attended and got a chance to hear about the latest developments at Wyatt Technology including the new, benchmark-setting ViscoStar III.

April 4, 2017 - Most of the boxes have been unpacked. Furniture that didn’t survive the move has been recycled. New logos have been stenciled on the glass. Our company sign has been hoisted into place on the building’s façade.

March 14, 2017 - At the recent Pittsburgh Conference (PittCon) held in Chicago, IL March 6-9, 2017, Wyatt Technology was pleasantly surprised to learn that we had won a Scientist’s Choice Award® from SelectScience. The active roster of 300,000+ SelectScience customers were invited to participate in the process by nominating, voting and reviewing companies of their choosing.

February 14, 2017 - Testing the stability of nanoparticles for drug delivery, phototherapy and diagnostics under physiological conditions is a critical phase of development. Bhirde et al. of the FDA and NIH have demonstrated the use of the DynaPro DLS Plate Reader for assessing the stability of model colloidal systems and their interaction with serum albumin, fully automated over many samples conditions and an extended time period.
