There are many proteins which interact with lipids in vivo, in complex relationships that have crucial impacts on organism health. These are often thought of as disease causing, but can also play roles in normal biochemical functions. Here are some examples of protein-lipid interactions from around the human body, which play a part in healthy activity in cells.

Protein X is a key suspect in causing disease Y. So how do you study protein X?

Here we look at biophysics from a biologist's point of view; asking why is biophysics important? What can biophysics contribute to biology? And what biophysics techniques should biologists know about, and use?

Blog20 December 2018

As the biopharmaceuticals market continues to grow, how do laboratory analysis methods support discovery and development? And what should be considered when selecting an analysis method?

Application note11 December 2018

UV absorbance is commonly used as a fast method for protein and peptide quantitation, however samples must contain tryptophan (Trp) or tyrosine (Tyr) residues to be detected. Here we demonstrate the ability of the Fluidity One to assess the concentration of a range of samples which have low or no Trp and Tyr content.

As the $31m investment round in Fluidic Analytics is announced, Vishal Gulati of Draper Esprit reflects on how he first met the founders, why proteins matter and how our technology is set to change protein science.

Application note31 October 2018

Molecular weight (Mw) is a commonly used, and for many scientists a readily understood, parameter to describe the size of a protein or complex. Here we show how hydrodynamic radius (Rh) can be used in combination with Mw to provide insights into the shape and structure of proteins and illustrate how Mw alone may not always provide a complete picture.

The Miptec exhibition at Basel Life 2018 marked the official launch of our Fluidity One instrument. Download a copy of our poster and presentation from the event here.

Brochure24 August 2018

The Fluidity One brochure gives an overview of the capabilities, applications and full technical specifications.

Application note22 August 2018

A commercially available human interleukin-2 is assessed by microfluidic diffusional sizing on the Fluidity One across a dilution series. The hydrodynamic radius is observed to increase with increasing concentration, in a way which suggests a monomer-trimer equilibrium with positive cooperativity is established.
