Wyatt instruments used in controversial study
Wyatt has announced that Professor Judit E. Puskas from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Akron has developed a system to solve a controversial material problem using their instrumentation.
Wyatt has announced that Professor Judit E. Puskas from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Akron has developed a system to solve a controversial material problem using their instrumentation.
The team are investigating alternative materials to silicone breast implants. Many will welcome this research as faulty Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) implants are currently causing concern around the world.
Professor Puskas is using macromolecular engineering to precision synthesize biocompatible polymers in order to produce high performance bioanocomposites for use as an alternative to silicone. According to Puskas, the Wyatt instrumentation delivers the accurate results needed when performing these studies. She said, “The Wyatt instruments are outstanding. The 18-angle system provides better quality than any alternatives on the market, providing more accurate and precise data.”

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
GPCRs – The Biological Traffic Modulator: Chromatographic Analysis of Peptides in the GI Tract
January 20th 2025The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are found throughout the entire body and have shown significance in the development of new therapeutic treatments. Isolation of seven classic GRPC peptides initiating in the GI tract highlights the benefits of using the polymer-based PRP-3, a reversed-phase resin. The covalent bonds found in the PRP-3 exhibit advantageous interactions between the biological π bonds found in the peptides and the available aromatic benzyl rings of the resin.
