Viscotek, a leader in multi-detector characterisation of polymers, proteins and nanoparticulate materials, announced at Pittcon 2007 the launch of a new state-of-the-art DLS microplate instrument the HorizonDLS.
Incorporating Viscotek's patented Single Mode Fibre (SMF) optical detection, unique Dual Attention Technology (DAT) and independent temperature control of microplate and sample the new HorizonDLS sets a new benchmark for automated biomolecular characterisation.
The HorizonDLS? delivers the same unmatched sensitivity on ultra low sample volumes as the acclaimed Model 802 DLS, but automatically, from the entire plate or selected wells, with no user interaction required. After manual or robotic placement of a prepared microplate into the temperature controlled instrument - intuitive OmniSIZE? software then automatically makes the measurements according to the user programmed acquisition sequence and the results are displayed in seconds. A complete size distribution of an entire microplate can be automatically accomplished in just minutes
The HorizonDLS? uniquely delivers both productivity and performance to a broad range of applications including screening of aggregates prior to protein crystallisation, monitoring size and aggregation as a function of varying solution conditions, buffer optimisation and characterisation and screening biotherapeutics for self-association.
