Characterisation

Professor Michael Butler, head of the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) Cell Technology Group (CTG), explains that the characterisation and analysis of glycans is important for the biopharma sector as it can help in the development of therapeutic agents such as monoclonal antibodies and other recombinant proteins. These are used in therapies […]

The ability to monitor biologic candidates’ propensity towards self-association is critical for predicting whether a therapeutic is likely to aggregate or become difficult to administer due to viscosity. In this app note, read how Merck KGaA uses light scattering measurements to predict how formulations will behave at clinically relevant concentrations and find the optimal formulation […]

Creoptix, a Switzerland-based company focused on next-generation bioanalytical instruments, has launched waveRAPID (Repeated Analyte Pulses of Increasing Duration), a novel, label-free kinetic measurement method that is said to be faster than traditional kinetics. The company developed the Creoptix WAVEsystem to enable molecular interactions to be studied in real time, aimimng to revolutionise drug discovery. By […]
