Features of Zetasizer APS
The Zetasizer APS enables you to:
- Investigate your protein over a large number of environmental conditions with minimal user intervention.
- Determine whether a protein is well-behaved in a buffer or whether aggregates are present.
- Assess purity to screen for suitable crystallization buffers.
- Measure aggregation temperature (melting point) to predict or compare stability.
- Uses industry standard 96 or 384 well plates.
- Measures size, size distribution, aggregation temperature.
- Use multiple measurement protocols on a single plate.
- Graphical plate scheduler to simplify set up.
- Color coded results graphic to aid data interpretation.
- Complete plate method stored for subsequent plates.
- Plate sampling technology ensures highest result accuracy.
- 2 - 90°C temperature range for measurement.
- 4 - 40°C temperature range for protein storage.
