Twin column test stands
09 June, 2009 | SI Instruments
Mecmesin twin column testing frames provide the opportunity to test physically larger specimens and apply loads up to 25 kN. The increased load allows samples up to 400 mm wide and 950 mm high to be accommodated. Each test frame has been designed to deliver high stiffness — often necessary in high load, low elongation testing applications — and are driven by twin, pre-loaded, synchronised ballscrews.
Glycan characterisation
09 June, 2009 | Waters Australia Pty Ltd
Waters has released the UltraPerformance LC (UPLCÂ) analytical solution for the characterisation of 2-AB labelled glycans from glycoproteins. The UPLC solution combines the Acquity UPLC BEH Glycan Columns with the Acquity UPLC System equipped with fluorescence detection. Current FDA regulations require that firms developing and manufacturing therapeutic proteins are able to accurately characterise the glycans attached to those proteins to ensure the efficacy and safety of a biopharmaceutical product.
