Biological Information
Serum

Characterisation solutions for Serum

Cell analysis of serum using cell size analysers and zeta potential analysers provides detailed information on cell population distribution and surface charge. This technology aids in understanding cell interactions, stability, and behaviour in serum, crucial for applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and research in immunology and cellular biology.

Dynamic Light Scattering

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) technology analyses cell size by measuring the scattering of laser light caused by particle movement, providing precise data on cell size distribution and aggregation.

Zeta Potential

Zeta potential analysis of serum uses electrophoretic light scattering to measure the electrical charge on cell surfaces, providing insights into cell stability, interactions, and aggregation tendencies in biological samples.

Analysing Serum in Research

Analysing serum for research involves measuring biomarkers to uncover insights into physiological processes, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic targets. By examining various components, such as proteins, hormones, and metabolites, researchers can identify correlations, track changes over time, and validate hypotheses. This detailed analysis enhances understanding of health and disease, contributing to the development of new treatments and advancing scientific knowledge in biomedical research.

Case study

A research laboratory based in the UK aimed to investigate the thermal-sensitive rheological behaviour of bovine serum albumin (BSA) solutions. Understanding the viscoelastic properties of BSA at various temperatures is crucial for applications in biotechnology and pharmaceutical formulations. The laboratory employed Dynamic Light Scattering Microrheology (DLS Microrheology) using the BeNano 180 Zeta to achieve this goal.

The UK research laboratory successfully utilised Dynamic Light Scattering Microrheology with the BeNano 180 Zeta to measure the thermal-sensitive rheological behavior of BSA solutions. Highlighting the instrument’s capability to provide detailed and precise measurements, significantly advancing the understanding of BSA’s viscoelastic properties under varying temperatures. The insights gained are invaluable for optimising applications in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
