Instruments and Equipment

  • LC/MS with UV/Vis detection: picogram detection; molecular characterization; formulation stability studies; in vitro release; in vivo PK; reaction monitoring
  • SEC/GPC (tetradetection): molecular parameters of natural (e.g., proteins, polypeptides) and synthetic polymers—molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, size, branching, Mark Houwink plots
  • NMR: proton and carbon, 2D, T1, T2….; characterization of molecular structure
  • FTIR with ATR: characterization of chemical functional groups; monitoring reactions
  • UV/Vis: protein concentration determination; chemical characterization
  • Rheometer: characterization of solution viscosity/rheology; stability studies; protein rheology etc
  • Equipped for organic and polymer synthesis: reactors; chemical fume hoods; glassware; centrifuges etc.
  • Novel fabrication technologies: microparticles; gels; 3D printing/additive manufacturing, etc
  • Laminar flow hood: sterile manufacturing
  • Incubator: water jacketed, CO2
  • Digital microscope: characterization of polymeric matrices (e.g., microparticles)
  • Refrigerators and freezer
  • Lyophilizer/ freeze-drier
  • Modular lab benches: rapid reconfiguration of lab operations
