Frequently asked questions related to the application of DLS to the characterization of protein therapeutic formulations

GPC/SEC can be used to characterize commodity or bulk manufactured polymers. Here we describe how the use of formic acid instead of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as the dissolution solvent and/or mobile phase can lead to improvements in both cost per analysis and health and safety. 

Work performed in conjunction with the Institut Pasteur, Paris, France.In this application note, triple detection size exclusion chromatography (SEC-TD) is used to understand the ability of proteins to form ordered, structured complexes. The controlling mechanism behind these protein complexes is fundamental to our knowledge of protein signaling pathways and the physiological responses they control.

Is it possible for a cylinder of helium to last years, rather than months? When using a novel split-splitless injection port for gas chromatographs, the simple answer is “yes.” Here, I present the more technical answer.

Christopher Harrison described the flipped classroom as an inevitable evolution in teaching. And he’s right – but why has it taken so long for university lecturers to catch on?
