Protein characterization takes centre stage in Malvern’s Analytica exhibits

Analytica 2010 (23-26 March 2010, Munich, Germany) Malvern Instruments will focus on its range of analytical instrumentation for life science applications, with an emphasis on the company’s comprehensive solutions for characterizing proteins and other macromolecules. Today Malvern offers a variety of options, with a range of systems that can be configured to meet the analysis requirements of individual laboratories. These include the Zetasizer family, which employs dynamic and static light scattering to measure size and molecular weight, and the full range of Viscotek advanced gel permeation / size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) systems and detectors for rapid, reliable characterization of both molecular weight and molecular structure.

In addition to the established and widely used Zetasizer Nano system, Malvern’s Zetasizer family now includes a system dedicated to the analysis of proteins and other biomolecules. Designed and optimised for maximum sensitivity and minimum sample volume, the Zetasizer Micro V is a dedicated system that supports improved understanding and management of a wide range of biomolecule applications. These include: optimising sample and storage conditions; verifying the quaternary structure of protein complexes; identifying thermal characteristics; and assessing protein solubility and sample purity.

In addition Malvern’s Kinexus rotational rheometer, the analytical imaging systems Sysmex FPIA-3000 and Morphologi G3, which provides fully automated image analysis to accelerate characterization and remove any operator subjectivity and the Mastersizer 2000, the world’s most popular particle size analyzer will be on display.

Malvern application experts are always available to help configure systems for specific measurement needs, and will be pleased to discuss individual requirements with visitors to the Malvern stand A1.320 at Analytica.
