A series of highly interactive 2-day seminars delivered by Malvern Instruments, which encompassed expert presentations and ‘up close’ practical workshops showcasing the latest in nanoparticle characterization technology, have been widely praised by attendees. Attendees of the ‘Latest Methods in Nanoparticle Characterization’ events, which took place in various locations all across the USA, Canada, Mexico and Brazil, from April through to June, have given feedback confirming their appreciation for the detailed presentations about different characterization technologies and their applications, and the value of being able to participate in live instrument demonstrations. The seminars were presented as part of Malvern’s global program dedicated to sharing expertise and providing exemplary technical and applications support.

“Delegates were particularly enthusiastic about discussing their own analytical challenges with Malvern’s applications experts,” said Thomas Guenette, Director of Marketing for the Americas at Malvern Instruments. “Demonstrations of our nanoparticle characterization range using real-life samples made a big impression. They provided delegates with the opportunity to learn more about complementary technologies and how these technologies can provide critical data for a broad spectrum of characterization challenges.”

The nanoparticle characterization seminars offered participants an opportunity to learn about the portfolio of technologies available from Malvern, including the benefits and limitations of each, across application areas ranging from industrial nanoparticles to protein biotherapeutics. Technology sessions were offered for Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) / Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) / Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC), and Rotational and Microcapillary Rheometry.

“With the overwhelmingly majority of delegates reporting that they were ‘very satisfied’ with the events, I think we have discovered an educational format that works well for everyone and we are looking forward to bringing similar seminars to more customers in the future,” said Thomas Guenette.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.

Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.

The most well-known example of a biotherapeutic product, and the first to be approved for therapeutic use, was recombinant human insulin.NanoparticlesNanoparticles are between 1-100nm in size. Nanoparticles can be used for a wide variety of applications including biomedical, catalysis and electronics.GC-MSGas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) combines the separation power of gas chromatography with the detection capabilities of mass spectrometry, allowing for the analysis of complex mixtures. It is widely used in environmental, forensic, and pharmaceutical analysis.
