Understanding the thermal, chemical and mechanical stability and physical properties of polymers is essential for development success. The case studies below outline the experimental methodologies and data analysis using ARGEN™ to monitor polymer degradation and to characterize molecular weight as well as the effects of temperature, shear stress and solution conditions on the stability of...Read More
ACOMP was used to monitor the free radical polymerization of vinyl pyrrolidone using UV Absorption (UV), capillary viscometry and multi-angle light scattering (MALS). This technical note describes how ACOMP is used to monitor the polymerization of vinyl pyrrolidone under small changes in initiator concentrations.Read More
ACOMP Brochure: Realtime Monitoring of Polymerization Reactions ACOMP is Automatic Continuous On-line Monitoring of Polymerization reactions, a patented solution that continuously extracts, dilutes, and conditions a small stream of reactor contents for analysis by a variety of non-chromatographic and chromatographic methods throughout the entire reaction process. The system can directly measure macromolecular properties during production. This fundamental information...Read More

Protein aggregation has presented biopharmaceutical scientists with constant difficulties during formulation development. Historically, batch-based methods such as SEC, HPLC and other aggregation detectors offer incomplete solutions because they do not provide scientists with realtime kinetic data on protein stability nor insight into the mechanisms of protein aggregation. ARGEN, an instrument by Fluence Analytics, adds a powerful tool to the protein scientist’s arsenal. ARGEN is a light scattering instrument...Read More
