18 February 2010: Malvern, UK: Experts in analytical instrumentation from Malvern Instruments will focus on protein applications at the 54th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society (San Francisco, California, 20-24 February 2010). On show will be Viscotek SEC systems and Malvern’s Zetasizer family of light scattering solutions including the world leading Zetasizer Nano, the new Zetasizer APS which automates measurements in industry standard 96- or 384-well plates, and the Zetasizer Micro V, dedicated to the size and molecular weight measurement of proteins. Conference participants will have the opportunity to join Malvern Instruments’ protein specialists at the company’s exhibition booth (#624) to view and discuss the latest developments.
Attracting more than 6000 international scientists from academia, government and industry, this year’s Biophysical Society meeting includes a National Lecture given by Roger Tsien, 2008 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry.
Advanced chromatography solutions (SEC), now extend Malvern’s technologies for protein molecular weight, size and aggregation measurements. These systems productively complement dynamic light scattering techniques which provide a non-invasive, fast, accurate and simple approach for protein characterization, ideal for, for example, the optimization of protein crystallization conditions.

About Malvern Instruments
Malvern Instruments provides a range of complementary materials characterization tools that deliver inter-related measurements reflecting the complexities of particulates and disperse systems, nanomaterials and macromolecules. Analytical instruments from Malvern are used in the characterization of a wide variety of materials, from industrial bulk powders to nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules. A broad portfolio of innovative technologies is combined with intelligent, user-friendly software. These systems deliver industrially relevant data enabling our customers to make the connection between micro (such as particle size) and macro (bulk) material properties (rheology) and chemical composition (chemical imaging).
Particle size, particle shape, zeta potential, molecular weight, chemical composition and rheological properties measurements are now joined by advanced chromatography solutions (GPC/SEC), extending Malvern’s technologies for protein molecular weight, size and aggregation measurements, and synthetic polymer molecular weight and distribution. The company’s laboratory, at-line, on-line and in-line solutions are proven in sectors as diverse as cement production and pharmaceutical drug discovery.
Headquartered in Malvern, UK, Malvern Instruments has subsidiary organizations in all major European markets, North America, China, Korea and Japan, a joint venture in India, a global distributor network and applications laboratories around the world. www.malvern.com
