Measure Molecular Size of Proteins & Polymers

Rheosense announces another measurement capability to its viscometer. The m-VROC is now equipped with high resolution to detect and measure the intrinsic viscosity, a capability indispensable for all bio/pharma and polymer applications. Intrinsic viscosity is a parameter used to determine the molecular size, weight, structure, and interactions among proteins, polymers, or macromolecules. Measuring the intrinsic viscosity is considered to be a more reliable method than light scattering to study and understand several processes such as polymerization, degradation, interaction, and the stability of molecules.
