Combining NIR Spectroscopy and Machine Vision for Rapid Grain Inspection

Gluten, a protein composite found in wheat and related grains such as barley and rye, gives a chewy and elastic texture to dough. Gluten causes health problems in people suffering from celiac disease or gluten intolerance. In these individuals, even a small amount of gluten can cause bowel dysfunction, abdominal pain, debilitating bloating and fatigue, as well as many non-abdominal symptoms.

Measurement of Protein Molecular Weight and Size Using Viscotek SEC-MALS 20 Detector and Waters Empower® SEC System

Biopharmaceuticals are made from proteins and other biological molecules. The protein’s aggregation state and molecular weight often define how active it is. The technique of light scattering is becoming increasingly more common as a means of measuring a protein’s molecular weight, aggregates and oligomers. SEC-MALS testing is one of the more well-established light scattering methods for measuring proteins.

Using Differential Scanning Calorimetry to Expedite the Development of Optimized Therapeutic Protein Formulations

During the development of biopharmaceuticals, decision has to be made at the outset whether a biopharmaceutical will be delivered in powder or liquid form. To that end, both powder and liquid formulations have their own advantages and disadvantages. End user convenience is also another factor that has to be taken into account.
