Instrumat and Malvern Instruments are organizing two training seminars on the subject of proteins caracterization which will be held in Olten (May 9th) and Lausanne (May 10th), 2012,. The objective of these seminarsis to discuss the different type of analysis used to characterize proteins. In particular, the measurement of molecular weight, size, conformation, electrical charge and affinity to bind to other molecules will be discussed. The principles of the various measurement techniques as well as the instrumentation required will be explained. As a new approach, the use of rheology to get additional information on protein formulations will be discussed.

The new HSi-440C Hyperspectral Imaging System delivers on the promise of real-time spectral imaging analysis. Utilizing a larger acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF), the system offers a 300% increase in throughput over previous generations, allowing for increased image brightness, clarity and speed. In combination with Gooch & Housego’s newest application software package , the HSi-440C combines highly functional spectral unmixing and display options in a streamlined user experience. The new interface is easily customizable, allowing users to set up persistent workspace layouts in accordance with their own preferences. In addition, the system’s unique ability to capture and process high-resolution multispectral images in near- real-time sets the HSi solution a world apart from competing technologies.

The Instrumat team wishes you a merry Christmas holiday and all the best for 2012. To celebrate this change of time, a young artist, Mikael Vaivre, uses spatial dimensions which he invites us to observe with a different angle. Discover his illustration by downloading it!
