High Throughput Protein Analysis and Characterization Instrument for Stability Studies

The Optim 2 instrument is an innovative analytical system designed to probe multiple protein stability-indicating parameters at high speed using ultra-low sample volumes.   
   
The compact and robust Optim 2 instrument provides static light scattering and intrinsic fluorescence detection technologies in a configuration never seen before. Results are controlled by an all-new easy-to-use and intuitive software package. The Optim 2 system has been designed to reduce the time and cost of pre-formulation studies, stability testing and formulation development of therapeutic proteins.   
   
The Optim 2 system will simultaneously measure a range of protein stability-indicating parameters including unfolding transition temperature (Tm), aggregation onset temperature (Tagg) and rates of aggregation, giving you greater insight into identifying the candidate molecules or formulations with the most favorable properties much earlier in the development process. Earlier analysis eliminates the cost associated with the unnecessary development of candidates or formulations that do not have the potential to proceed and dramatically reduces the chance of late-stage failure.
