Malvern sponsors protein aggregation track at PepTalk 2010
3 November 2009: Malvern, UK: As well as presenting a technical paper
and exhibiting from its range of Zetasizer light scattering solutions and
Viscotek size exclusion chromatography systems, Malvern Instruments is
sponsoring the ‘Protein Aggregation’ track at the next Cambridge Healthtech
Institute PepTalk conference (January 11-15, 2010, San Diego, California).
‘Protein Aggregation: Understanding and Overcoming Analytic, Formulation,
Manufacturing, and Regulatory Challenges’ extends over 13th and 14th January,
and covers the latest trends and challenges with a focus on the understanding
and control of protein aggregation.
On Thursday, 14 January during the ‘Mechanisms of Protein Instability,
Aggregation, and Immunogenicity’ session, Malvern specialist, Dr Ulf Nobbmann,
will present: ‘Predicting Stability of Concentrated Protein Formulations from
Dilute Solution Properties’. He will examine the application of non-invasive
light scattering techniques to predict formulation stability, using zeta
potential, melting points, virial coefficients, and polydispersity measurements
of the dilute solution.
On Tuesday, 12 January, Dr Kevin Mattison from Malvern will cover the
‘Characterization of sub-micron particulates using light scattering techniques’
as part of the short course - Characterization and Analysis of Particulates:
Methods and Tools.
Conference participants will also have the opportunity to join Malvern
Instruments’ protein specialists at the company’s exhibition booth (#15) to view
and discuss the latest developments. On show will be Viscotek SEC systems and
Malvern's Zetasizer family of light scattering solutions, including the world
leading Zetasizer Nano, the new Zetasizer APS which automates measurements in
industry standard 96- or 384-well plates, and the Zetasizer Micro V, dedicated
to the size and molecular weight measurement of proteins. For more details visit

About Malvern Instruments
Malvern Instruments provides a range of complementary materials
characterization tools that deliver inter-related measurements reflecting the
complexities of particulates and disperse systems, nanomaterials and
macromolecules. Analytical instruments from Malvern are used in the
characterization of a wide variety of materials, from industrial bulk powders to
nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules. A broad portfolio of innovative
technologies is combined with intelligent, user-friendly software. These systems
deliver industrially relevant data enabling our customers to make the connection
between micro (such as particle size) and macro (bulk) material properties (rheology)
and chemical composition (chemical imaging).
Particle size, particle shape, zeta potential, molecular weight, chemical
composition and rheological properties measurements are now joined by advanced
chromatography solutions (GPC/SEC), extending Malvern’s technologies for protein
molecular weight, size and aggregation measurements, and synthetic polymer
molecular weight and distribution. The company’s laboratory, at-line, on-line
and in-line solutions are proven in sectors as diverse as cement production and
pharmaceutical drug discovery.
Headquartered in Malvern, UK, Malvern Instruments has subsidiary organizations
in all major European markets, North America, China, Korea and Japan, a joint
venture in India, a global distributor network and applications laboratories
around the world. www.malvern.com
