Webinar Description:
Meet Our UNcle: the All-In-One Biologics Stability Platform. Characterizing biologic stability is a wrestling match with disjointed data from sub-optimized tools. Not anymore. A better approach is to use one platform that can make multiple measurements
from the same sample. Our UNcle combines fluorescence, SLS, and DLS reads in one instrument. This combination allows you to quickly and efficiently characterize all the size, aggregation, thermal ramp, isothermal and viscosity information
you want. As many as 48 protein constructs and formulations can be run simultaneously, and applications that use multiple detection methods let researchers grab many of these measurements at the same time. We’ll talk about unique approaches
to formulation and construct characterization and how you can do them all with way less sample than before.
Learning Objectives:
- See how thermal stability ranking speeds up formulation development
- Learn how low volume, high-sensitivity DLS can enable quick and easy determinations of stability
- Find out how multi-mode detection enables more creative and sample-saving approaches to protein characterization
- Meet the one platform that can be used to measure the melting temperature, aggregation onset, isothermal stability, B22, kD and viscosity of biologics
Who Should Attend:
- Scientists who want to quickly rank proteins and formulations
- Scientists who need more flexibility in how they characterize their proteins
- Scientists interested in tools to screen for biologic stability
- Anyone interested in formulating better biologics with less sample
