Fields & Applications

Over 10 years ago, the potential of two-dimensional liquid chromatography seemed obvious to me – so I built a system and never looked back.

Our capacity to generate data is unsurpassed, but how do we cope with the data deluge? It’s time to embrace data-driven discovery in biology and medicine.

Nick Kim gifts us with his very analytical and amusing view of the world around us.

Taking gas chromatography into the field has the potential to detect crop disease sooner

Could a simple flower-shaped paper-based assay be the answer to an undiagnosed hepatitis C pandemic?

While Bernard Kuster and his colleagues were compiling ProteomicsDB, a separate team of researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA, and the Institute of Bioinformatics, Bangalore, India, tackled the challenge in a different way

In this application note we will look at two examples where the retention volume of a sample could not be used to obtain an accurate measure of the sample MW. We will also describe the additional information that can be obtained using these advanced detectors. This work has been performed in conjunction with the Institut Pasteur, Paris, France

For our second episode, we stay in Italy and speak with Chiara Cordero from the University of Turin

The Zetasizer µV (MicroV) is a dual purpose light scattering instrument designed specifically for the analysis of proteins. Firstly, it is a highly sensitive cuvette based dynamic light scattering instrument with the same great performance as the market leading Zetasizer Nano. Secondly, by simply changing the cell, it becomes an absolute molecular weight and size detector that can be added to any Size Exclusion Chromatography system (such as the Viscotek TDAmax).

The Zetasizer Nano is the world's most widely used light scattering system, for measuring size, zeta potential and molecular weight. Applications range from characterizing high concentration colloids and nanoparticles, through to measurement of proteins and macromolecules in their native state, requiring as little as 12 microlitres of sample. The Zetasizer Nano can be used for the comprehensive characterization of proteins, colloids and nanoparticles, and is simple to use, highly sensitive, versatile and fast! This videos shows how quickly and easily a measurement can be made on the Zetasizer Nano.
