PARTICLE SIZING
Guide to Making Useful Measurements of Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) with Dynamic Light Scattering
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a powerful technique that is amenable to measurement of biological samples, particularly proteins and biopolymers. One of the fastest growing classes of pharmaceutically active biologics are antibodies...Read More
Particle Sizing: what is Baseline Index and why is it important?
The baseline index, abbreviated as BI, is a metric that can be used to quantify the impact of dust contamination on a given DLS measurement. Within the vernacular of light scattering, dust is often loosely defined, referring to any minor component too large to properly disperse, moving due to gravity, rather than Brownian motion...Read More
