BSA Monomer-Dimer Elucidation with the BI-MwA

Aggregation kills. Aggregated therapeutic proteins can provoke immune response and have reduced therapeutic effect. This has led to regulatory and industrial interest in identifying aggregates for elimination. Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC/GPC) has been a useful technique for the determination of molecular weights of proteins. However, its usefulness is limited by the requirement for calibration of the […]

Brookhaven’s BI-200SM Effective in DNA Compaction Research featured in Oxford University Press

Oxford University Press’ Nucleic Acids Research featured a study entitled “Packaging Of DNA By Shell Crosslinked Nanoparticles”. The researchers of this study, Thurmond and his colleagues, made use of Brookhaven’s BI-200SM Goniometer in conducting dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments that allowed a thorough observation of DNA compaction by shell-crosslinked Knedel-like (SCKs) nanoparticles. The researchers demonstrated […]

Analysis of Virus Particles in Media by Dynamic Light Scattering

Introduction Traditional visual methods of observing virus particles in solution give a snapshot of a very small sampling volume, while the technique of particle analysis using dynamic light scattering yields an ensemble average of particles present in the solutions. Virus particles incubated in the laboratory present a challenge, as they must be grown within cells […]
