Nano DSC

Nano DSC

The Nano DSC utilizes capillary cells to achieve highest sensitivity and maximum sample flexibility.

The Nano DSC differential scanning calorimeter is designed to characterize the molecular stability of dilute in-solution biomolecules. The Nano DSC obtains data using less sample than competitive designs. Solid-state thermoelectric elements are used to precisely control temperature and a built-in precision linear actuator maintains constant or controlled variable pressure in the cell. Automated, unattended continuous operation with increased sample throughput is achieved with the optional Nano DSC Autosampler.

Reliable Autosampler

Reliable autosampler for increased productivity and true “walk-away” automation.

Protein required for DSC scan

Protein required for DSC scan

Nano DSC

The Nano DSC delivers superior high sensitivity and reproducibility of data. Using the Nano DSC requires as little as 2 micrograms of protein, with quantitative results identical to experiments using 100 times more sample!

Protein Stability

Protein Stability

Nano DSC

Nano DSC is ideal for accurate and precise measurements of protein stability. Unmatched repeatability of the heat flow baseline allows for the measurement of denaturation and partial molar heat capacity of proteins in very dilute solution.

Nano DSC

The Nano DSC autosampler provides high sample throughput. With automated, unattended sample handling it is true “walk-away” automation. The high sensitivity and superior baseline stability allow scientists to work at low protein concentrations. Automated wash and rinse cycles eliminate the possibility of cell contamination. This data shows the high sensitivity and excellent reproducibility obtained by the auto Nano DSC on samples of different concentrations.
