• Capsule that can target prostate cancer

  A new approach for sensing and detecting cancer cells using a hydrogel capsule could lead to a more accurate prognosis of prostate cancer. Itaru Hamachi and his team at Kyoto University, Japan, have designed a mechanically tough hydrogel that forms a stable capsule in both aqueous and cellular medi more

• A flash of light turns graphene into a biosensor

  Biomedical researchers suspect graphene would be useful in a variety of applications. But no one had studied the interaction between graphene and DNA, the building block of all living things. To learn more, PNNL's Zhiwen Tang, Yuehe Lin and colleagues from both PNNL and Princeton University built na more

• Pitt researchers harness carbon nanomaterials for drug delivery systems, oxygen sensors

  Two nanoscale devices recently reported by University of Pittsburgh researchers in two separate journals harness the potential of carbon nanomaterials to enhance technologies for drug or imaging agent delivery and energy storage systems, in one case, and, in the other, bolster the sensitivity of oxy more

• Automated Dynamic Light Scattering
  

  DLS analysis is a widely applied, non-invasive method for measuring the effective size of molecules in solution. This technique yields valuable information for the characterization of molecules and particles. It facilitates formerly laborious and time consuming measurements, e.g. screening for aggregates or determining optimal crystallization conditions for proteins. The Wyatt Plate Reader is the instrument of choice for any application where molecular size, stability and aggregation are of interest. It reads industry standard microplates with up to 1536 samples automatically and temperature-controlled, if desired. The applications of the technique are wide ranging and include many of the fastest growing areas of research - proteins, biomaterials, liposomes and micelles as well as the established uses for particle sizing and aggregation detection. Conscious of the numerous characterization challenges in the area of drug delivery systems and therapeutic antibodies more
