Criminals “sweating it out” beware: a new amino acid test can tell male from female fingerprints

Polyol-induced increases in thermal stability of antibodies. See how Differential scanning calorimetry can be used to assess the effects of polyol excipients on antibodies. DSC was used to monitor polyol-induced increases in thermal stability across seven monoclonal antibodies. The increases in thermal stability were measured as a function of polyol concentration and orientation of hydroxyl groups. It was found that increases in thermal stability were linear with respect to alcohol concentration.
