Device promises to revolutionise analysis of chemical reactions and molecular binding by using only a small amount of sample - approximately 40 microlitres
Ultrasonic Scientific, innovator in high-resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy (HR-US) for material analysis, announces its new ground-breaking instrument, the Titration Kinetic Analyser.
This new analyser revolutionises analysis of chemical reactions and molecular binding by using only a small amount of sample, approximately 40 microlitres (volume of one droplet).
This allows cost-effective analysis of expensive samples such as proteins, nucleic acids and antibodies.
The Titration Kinetic Analyser measures microstructural and molecular processes in liquids when concentration of selected compounds is changed (titration), or with time, when a chemical reaction is started by an injection of a required compound.
This provides a valuable tool for product and process development in the pharmaceutical, biotech, cosmetics, food and other industries, as well as scientists in universities and research institutes working in the field of life science, biomedical and biopharmaceutical applications. Ultrasonic Scientific's Titration Kinetic Analyser does not require any optical markers or optical activity of analysed compounds and can analyse molecular binding and chemical reactions in optically non-transparent samples such as blood.
In addition, the analyser has the unique ability to follow simultaneously an analysed molecular process, and associated supramolecular transformations, such as aggregation, change in particle size and others.
The Titration Kinetic Analyser can also be used as a small volume high-resolution ultrasonic spectrometer, which can perform ultrasonic measurements in a broad temperature range.
This makes the instrument perfect for a number of applications such as the measurement of binding constants, drug screening, enzymatic activity and kinetics of chemical reactions.
Moreover, the Titration Kinetic Analyser includes a smart software package, which is optimised for measurements and data analysis of kinetics of chemical reactions and titrations delivering high-level of user friendliness.
