The service offers a wide range of equipment and expertise in biochemistry and biophysics to perform quality control measurements and functional analyzes of protein samples:

• Differential Scanning Microcalorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to characterize the stability of proteins and other biomolecules (measurement of melting temperature), requiring no labelling or immobilization.
• Circular Dichroism (CD) provides information on secondary structures and integrity of protein folding in solution. Any chiral molecule, with an absorption spectrum, has a characteristic CD signature, which can be exploited for applications in organic chemistry, food industry or pharmacology.
• Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is used to study the properties of particles in solution. Information such as hydrodynamic radius and homogeneity (mono or polydisperse samples) are obtained.
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) provides fast information on the 3D folding, stability or oligomerization status of proteins, peptides and nucleic acids.
