This application note describes the use of a Zetasizer Nano ZSP to characterize the charge state of spidroins in different formulations. The earliest stages of spidroin aggregation in different formulations are then assessed using low-temperature synamic light scattering (DLS) thermal trend experiments.

In the light of a disruptive new paper, four experts discuss the future of Raman spectroscopy

In this application note, molecular weight data from the Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 is combined with measurements of Rg and IV to study the structure of different polysaccharides including pullulan, dextran, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), pectin and gum Arabic. The differences between conformation and Mark-Houwink plots are also studied.

A 2015 Innovation Award-winning “fastGC” module enhances proton transfer reaction time-of-flight analyzer performance by adding an optional near real-time chemical pre-separation step. Here’s the story behind its development.

The Analytical Scientist Innovation Awards (TASIAs) return for a third consecutive year to recognize 12 months of innovation from companies big and small.

What is the origin of stereochemical bias – terrestrial autocatalytic processes, extraterrestrial contamination or otherworldly intervention? Here, I review the gas chromatographic tools being used in the search for homochirality in space – the final frontier.

Using saturation-transfer difference (STD) NMR and in situ NMR spectroscopic analyses of biocatalyzed reactions to optimize application of enzymes in organic synthesis.
