Biophysical Analysis
We have access to instrumentation to determine biomolecular interactions and aid early-stage drug discovery applications. Instruments include the Bruker Biosensors switchSENSE and helix-Cyto platforms.’
UV Melt
Shimadzu UV-1800 is one of the most compact spectrophotometers that is equipped with a variety of measurement modes enabling a range of applications. This UV instrument offers a nucleic acid thermal analysis accessory.
Analytical HPLC
We have an extensive array of liquid chromatography instruments to analyse small molecules, nucleic acids and bioconjugates
