• Asymmetric Flow Field Flow Fractionation (AF4) - A Powerful Method for Polymer Characterization

  The AF4-MALS combined technique can serve as a routine method for polymer analysis and characterization. AF4 provides separation efficiency entirely comparable with traditionally used and so far dominating SEC. In addition, it yields superior separation of branched polymers, polymers containing ultra high molar mass fractions up to at least 108 g/mol, and nanoparticles. This contribution outlines the theoretical background of the method and shows several examples of its use, e.g. separation of high molecular weight polymers and particles. While SEC will certainly continue to be the most frequently employed method of polymer analysis, for many samples the description of molecular structure is more detailed if both SEC and AF4 are used. The possibility to run both SEC and AF4 on the same experimental set-up makes the AF4 method a powerful and versatile tool for the characterization of a variety of synthetic and natural polymers and related materials. more

• Structural and Chemical 3D Imaging with AFM and Raman.
  

  In the Life Sciences and Bio-medical Research, the characterization of chemical compounds within cells or tissues is one of the most important and difficult tasks for researchers to perform. The development of pharmaceuticals such as drug delivery coatings or capsules also requires as much information as possible about their chemical and structural compositions. For the fields of nanotechnology and materials science, a thorough knowledge of the samples' surface morphology on a sub-micron scale is essential more

• ORAC Assay Performed on the POLARstar Omega and PHERAstar FS microplate reader
  

  In all oxygen consuming cells, metabolism and oxidative stress generate several intermediates and byproducts that are collectively known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are necessary intermediates in the human body, but they are also involved in the aging process and in the development of many degenerative diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Herein we describe the determination of the antioxidant capacity of different fruit juices using the ORAC assay; a standardized method that uses Trolox®, a water-soluble analogue of vitamin E, as a standard substance more
