Does Circular Dichroism (CD) replace DSC or NMR?
No. Circular Dichroism CD is fast and sensitive to variations in secondary structure; it is complementary to DSC (thermodynamics) and NMR (fine structure, local interactions).
How far can we go below 200nm?
This depends on the transparency of the buffer and the optical path. We optimize the conditions to maximize the useful information..
Can studies be conducted under real-world conditions (salt, excipients)?
Yes, subject to optical compatibility. We offer alternative formulations when necessary.
What are the areas of application of Circular Dichroism (CD)?
- Biopharmaceuticals: antibodies, fragments, therapeutic peptides, enzymes, vaccines, biosimilars
- Biotechnology and diagnostics: recombinant proteins, media, reagents
- Cosmetics and dermo-cosmetics: functional peptides, skincare proteins, formulation stability
