These experiments demonstrate the utility of ARGEN™ to define oligomeric states and transitions of Human Insulin under thermal stress. Time to dimerization and time to tetramerization measurements permitted the characterization of a stable dimer species, as well as insights into the mechanisms and kinetics of higher order oligomer formation. Whereas, SEC allows the characterization of...Read More

PepTalk, one of the largest annual conferences for protein researchers in the world, will take place from January 8-12, 2018 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. Fluence Analytics is attending the 17th annual conference and will showcase ARGEN at exhibition booth number 315. The booth will feature an ARGEN system with software demos, and members of...Read More
In these experiments, ARGEN was used to characterize the thermal and chemical stability of a monoclonal antibody and subsequently establish quantitative and qualitative properties such as pH and temperature dependence on aggregation kinetics. Additionally, SEC elution profiles were superimposed onto Mw/Mo output, providing a robust comparison and identification of the stability landscape for the mAb....Read More
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
New Instrument Continuously Analyzes Protein and Natural Polymer Aggregation (New Orleans, LA, U.S.) ‒ Fluence Analytics, a manufacturer of realtime, industrial and laboratory monitoring systems, today announced the launch of ARGEN, a patented protein and polymer stability monitoring product. By utilizing continuous light scattering measurements, ARGEN yields a unique information stream which reduces discovery and...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
Michael Drenski, CTO of Fluence Analytics, is attending AMI’s first Polymer Testing & Analysis 2017 Conference at the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center, and he will present data from using ARGEN to monitor and characterize polymer degradation of polystyrene. Michael’s talk is scheduled for Session 5 on Wednesday, September 20 at 9:10 a.m. ARGEN is a light scattering instrument...Read More
