Aggregate Analyses by Light Scattering – Complementary and Orthogonal [poster]

Concerns about potential removal of large aggregates by the SEC column as well as sample alteration due to dilution and solvent exchange call for methods orthogonal to SEC to detect and quantify aggregates present in a protein solution. In this scientific poster, we discuss the necessity and benefits of using orthogonal light scattering approaches through a case study of two different lots of Pierce BSA. Learn more.

Synthetic Polymer Characterization by AF4-MALS [poster]

Asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) provides high-resolution separations for characterizing a wide range of macromolecules and colloidal particles. This method has been called the most generally useful of any of the field-flow fractionation (FFF) family. Learn more by viewing our scientific poster.

WP2608: Lipid Nanoparticle and Liposome Characterization with FFF-MALS-DLS

Liposomes and lipid nanoparticles serve as versatile drug delivery systems, offering control over composition, structure, and morphology, where these properties can be tailored to each specific pharmaceutical application. Comprehensive characterization of the particles by FFF-MALS-DLS is essential for rapid and effective pharmaceutical product development as well as for regulatory approval.

WP1615: SEC-MALS for absolute biophysical characterization

Size-exclusion chromatography is commonly used to separate and analyze proteins and other biomacromolecules. However, in order to reliably determine their basic biophysical properties in solution, an absolute, independent means of characterization must be added downstream of the separation step.

WP9001: Nanoparticle Characterization with the Light Scattering Toolkit

Perhaps one of the most versatile sets of nanoparticle characterization tools is based on light scattering, utilizing the three basic flavors of analytical light scattering: multi-angle, dynamic and electrophoretic. Auxiliary techniques that enhance and complement light scattering include field-flow fractionation (FFF), which separates nanoparticles according to size prior to analysis, and inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for analysis of elemental composition.
