Miniature chips aim to deliver portable – or massively parallel – nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy

Whey is a by-product of the cheese-making process, and Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is a dietary supplement and food ingredient created by separating components from milk. It contains a high percentage of pure protein and can be pure enough to be virtually lactose free, carbohydrate free, fat free, and cholesterol free. In this application note, a sample of WPI was characterized using the Viscotek TDAmax. The 4 main components in this mixture were separated and individually characterized.

This application note presents an example of how calorimetry aided the formulation development for ProX by providing insight into excipient-protein interactions. Polysorbate-80 and phenol are examined here as potential additives to the formulation buffer for ProX.

The aim of Play to Cure: Genes in Space is to collect Element Alpha, a mist-like substance that can be traded for ship upgrades.

Over the past few months, we’ve been asking you to send in the photos and images that best reflect the important and intriguing work that you do.
