Estimating BSA Aggregation Kinetics with Dynamic Light Scattering and Raman Spectroscopy

27 Jul 2014

This white paper demonstrates the successful combination of Raman spectroscopy with DLS, to investigate the time dependence of incubation at elevated temperature for a series of BSA formulations of different pH. The evolution of aggregation is monitored by DLS, while protein unfolding is tracked by measuring secondary structure through Raman spectroscopy, all in a single experiment.

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.

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.
