This article details the benefits of combining solubility and a non-cell based permeability assay (Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeation Assay; PAMPA) into a single workflow in which a portion of the filtrate from the MultiScreen® Solubility filter plate is added to
Phase I biotransformation reactions introduce or expose functional groups on the drug with the goal of increasing the polarity of the compound. Although Phase I drug metabolism occurs in most tissues, the primary and first pass site of metabolism occurs
Myosins are a family of ATP-dependent motor proteins. Myosin II is the major contractile protein involved in eukaryotic muscle contraction by “walking” along actin microfilaments of the sarcomere
What is Mass Spectrometry or MS? What is it used for and how does it work? Read this detailed article with diagrams and example graphs to understand how to use mass spec in your research.
HPTLC-MS was used to analyze stevioside and rebaudioside in artificial sweeteners, stevia plants, cola and isotonic drinks with a minimum of sample preparation.
After filtration, the FastWoRX powder loaded with organic products can serve as a convenient input for flash chromatographic separation or other processing.
In order to cover a broad range of possible solute-stationary phase interactions, 95 solutes with varied functional groups were selected to perform stationary phase characterization.
Organic Light-emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are solid-state devices that transform electrical energy into light. OLEDs are considered the next generation technology for high-resolution flexible displays and solid state lighting, attracting intense scientific and industrial interest.
Our highly fluorescent iron oxide incorporated conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) have an iron oxide and semiconductor light emitting polymer core, encapsulated within a biocompatible surfactant. The multi-modal particles can be used in both fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging. Learn more
Chitosan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide ideally suited for use in medical supplies, devices, therapeutics, and diagnostics. The unique natural characteristics of chitosan include its cationic, biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic, non-immunogenic, and antimicrobial properties.
This article reviews the use of block copolymers to coat a surface to make unique nanoscale patterns on a substrate (shown below). Using this method, as opposed to etching with a laser, can improve resolution from the current limit of
Scientists at Sigma-Aldrich® routinely determine number-average molecular weight (Mn) by 1H NMR end-group analysis for polymers having Mn values under 3,000.
The introduction of LAP and water-dispersible photoinitiator nanoparticles of TPO, enables the development of novel formulations for 3D bioprinting, tissue engineering applications, and device manufacturing.
The immune system protects the body from disease by resisting the invasion of foreign molecules into its cells, for example peptides and proteins are hydrolyzed by proteolytic enzymes; nucleic acids are hydrolyzed by nucleases; and most small molecules are eliminated
