Four recent introductions to Malvern's range of particle characterisation and rheology systems, plus a Viscotek chromatography product, will make their Pittcon debuts on 8-13 March 2009 in Chicago.
Malvern's Kinexus rotational rheometer, Zetasizer APS and Zetasizer uV particle characterisation systems, and an application for the Morphologi G3, will be on display.
The launch of a detector for the Viscotek TDAmax gel permeation chromatography system celebrates the first anniversary of Malvern's acquisition of the company.
As part of the Pittcon programme Dr Neil Lewis, technical director for Malvern, will lead a Conferee Networking Session focusing on dynamic light scattering in biopharmaceutical applications.
Malvern's Kinexus incorporates critical features in areas of rheometer design, from sample preparation and loading, through measurement set-up and operation, to data analysis and reporting.
Adaptive intelligence allows Kinexus to actively guide users at every stage.
The Zetasizer APS dynamic light scattering system automates size measurements of samples in 96- or 384-well microplates.
Designed primarily for protein specialists, the system is fully automated, simply requiring users to insert the plate and press start.
It allows quick investigation of a protein's condition at different stages of the purification process, and at later stages of formulation under a range of environmental conditions.
The Zetasizer uV is an advanced light scattering system specifically intended for the characterisation of proteins and other biomolecules.
Requiring just two microlitres of sample, it enables measurement of as little as 40 nanograms of BSA (bovine serum albumin).
This system supports improved understanding and management of a wide range of biomolecule applications.
A new capability for the Morphologi G3 particle characterisation system enables the fully automated detection, enumeration and size classification of foreign particulate matter collected on a filter.
Traditionally, this has been the preserve of manual light microscopy.
The Morphologi G3 offers fully automated image analysis to accelerate characterisation and remove any operator subjectivity.
