Services
In collaboration with AUC Solutions we offer a selection of services to assist investigators with challenges related to the solution characterization of macromolecules. Rigorous analysis of macromolecular properties in the solution phase is a demanding task, extending into a wide range of scientific fields including biophysics and other life sciences, material science, colloid chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science. We have accumulated 20+ years of expertise in these fields to offer you assistance, guidance and training. Our services include:
- Sample Analysis: We provide custom AUC analysis of your solution samples to provide particle sizing, information about oligomerization behavior, aggregation quantification, Kd measurements, size, shape and density distributions. We will work with your group to develop the required experimental design and will post all analysis results in your LIMS account. Optionally, we can provide custom reports which summarize the results from the performed experiments. We accept any materials suitable for solution characterization, including biopolymers, nanomaterials, quantum dots and synthetic polymers. Our collaborations extend worldwide, and we welcome collaborations from academia, government research labs and industry.
- Protocol Development: We can work with your team to develop systematic analysis protocols for formulation characterization, aggregation quantification, reproducibility and sameness studies.
- Custom Sofware Applications: We develop custom software solutions for your hydrodynamic characterization questions. Our programmers will develop software and pursue any required validation for FDA approved characterization protocols.
- Consulting: Our partner, AUC Solutions, offers customized consulting services to develop an in-house analytical ultracentrifugation capability. This includes advice on needed instrumentation and technician training. Contact us for a discussion on a custom solution for your specific requirements.
