PARTICLE SIZING


Guide to Making Useful Measurements of Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) with Dynamic Light Scattering

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a powerful technique that is amenable to measurement of biological samples, particularly proteins and biopolymers. One of the fastest growing classes of pharmaceutically active biologics are antibodies...Read More


Particle Sizing: what is Baseline Index and why is it important?

The baseline index, abbreviated as BI, is a metric that can be used to quantify the impact of dust contamination on a given DLS measurement. Within the vernacular of light scattering, dust is often loosely defined, referring to any minor component too large to properly disperse, moving due to gravity, rather than Brownian motion...Read More


Powerful Tools for Drug Delivery Characterization

Liposomes are commonly used in drug delivery applications to encapsulate and deliver bioactive cargo molecules such as oligonucleotides and proteins. A new application is available that discusses how Liposomes may be characterized using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Zeta Potential techniques...Read More


How Does Baseline Index Impact DLS?

The baseline index, abbreviated as BI, is a metric that can be used to quantify the impact of dust contamination on a given DLS measurement. Within the vernacular of light scattering, dust is often loosely defined, referring to any minor component too large to properly disperse, moving due to gravity, rather than Brownian motion...Read More


Nanosphere Research Using Dynamic Light Scattering

Science Direct presented a study entitled, “Self-Assembly Of B-Cyclodextrin And Pluronic Into Hollow Nanospheres In Aqueous Solution” which investigated self-assembly of b-cyclodextrin (b-CD) and tri-block pluronic (PEG–PPG–PEG) in an aqueous solution...Read More


Automation of pH-titrations using the BI-ZTU

The stability of dispersible nanomaterials often depends on having a high surface charge. These charges are often pH dependent, especially for surface chemistries with acidic or basic functionalities. A titration can be performed to rapidly profile a range of solution conditions to determine...Read More
