Software updates simplify protein analysis for Avacta’s Optim® instruments

Supplier: Avacta Analytical 30/07/2014

Description

Avacta Analytical has released a number of software updates for its innovative Optim® series of biophysical characterization instruments. Designed to reduce the time and cost of therapeutic protein preformulation studies, the compact and robust Optim instruments can probe multiple protein stability¬ indicating parameters at high speed using ultra-low sample volumes. The latest software updates have been developed to streamline this process, offering faster, more flexible operation and analysis.

Optim Client v2.1 instrument control software offers a number of exciting new features to simplify and accelerate research workflows, increasing measurement flexibility and allowing users to define custom experimental parameters. This dramatically increases the dynamic range of the instrument, enabling laboratories to adapt their assay parameters to new labels or changing experimental requirements with a built-in method designer and freeform thermal profiling options. Optim Client v2.1 also offers a number of additional pre-programmed settings for common applications – including determination of extinction coefficients, thermal refolding and relative viscosity – as well as a host of other improvements designed to simplify routine operation.

These updates are complemented by the new Optim Analysis v2.1 software, which has been entirely re¬written for greater speed, flexibility and user-friendliness. The software offers a number of enhanced methods – including revised melting point analysis to improve the quality and robustness of data – as well as new analytical tools and on-the-fly data processing, to help researchers get the most out of each measurement.
