Analytical Ultracentrifuge (AUC)

Analytical Ultracentrifuge (AUC) is the most versatile, rigorous and accurate technology available for determining the molecular weight, hydrodynamic and thermodynamic properties of a protein or other macromolecule. Analyzes a wide array of particles in native, matrix-free conditions, including: Proteins, Nanoparticles, Peptides, Polymers, Micelles, Liposomes, vesicles, Extracellular, Drug conjugates, Viral payload. Provides data which can answer more critical questions than any other comparable technique, including: Shape, Mass, Diameter, Stoichiometry, Heterogeneity, Association, Aggregation, Purity, Formulation.
