Product news

Wyatt Technology has published a new brochure, 'Wyatt Calypso™: Built-in automation leading to simple, reliable & repeatable measurements', to accompany the launch of its Calypso™ system.

Explore the Calypso’s wide range of applications, including process improvement, protein crystallation, self-assembly/aggregation, drug discovery and reversible macromolecular associations. The instrument is not only capable of creating and delivering sample concentration gradients, but also acquiring and analyzing multi-angle light scattering and concentration data.

Illustrating that the Wyatt Calypso works in conjunction with the Wyatt DAWN HELIOS or mini-DAWN™ TREOS™, the brochure explains how the new Calypso instrument has built-in automation leading to simple, reliable and repeatable measurements of Zimm plots, kinetics and reversible self- and hetero-associations. With the advent of the Wyatt Calypso, quick, reliable, automated batch measurements can now be readily performed and analyzed.

Incorporated in the document are detailed specifications, which include all instrument performance information, as well as a full description of how the Calypso system works. In addition this new brochure highlights the full benefits of the Calypso system which include quick start-up, automation, parallel processing, multiple user modes and compatability.

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.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.
