Proteins and Protein Complex Characterization
Direct visualization of proteins and protein complexes in solution can save hundreds of thousands of dollars spent in time and reagents during process development and formulation analysis. Is your formulation plagued by submicron aggregation? Are denatured proteins decreasing the shelf life of your drug? Does your protein complex of interest remain morphologically intact across different batch processes? NanoImaging Services performs full characterization of proteins and protein complexes in solution using state of the art Molecular Microscopy methods developed specifically to preserve the native structure of your sample and provide a direct measure of protein and protein complex morphology, aggregation state, and structure.

- Morphology Analysis
How clean and intact are the proteins in your formulation really?
- Particle Contents
Are your particles full or empty?
- Complex Characterization
What does your protein-adjuvant complex look like?
- Aggregation Assessment
Are your solubility issues a result of submicron aggregation?
