July Online LIVE Seminar! ~Protein Analysis Seminar~

How about one for the lab? Introducing the Discovery DSC series, the world's most outstanding and highly versatile differential scanning calorimeter.

TA Instruments continues to be the leading company in the world of DSC with innovative and outstanding technology. It provides reliable data and enhances workflow and productivity in laboratories. Material property analysis is essential at all stages of product design, manufacturing, processing, and application. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is the most widely used thermal analysis instrument for evaluating the physical properties of a wide range of materials, including polymers, pharmaceuticals, food, biomaterials, organic compounds, inorganic compounds, and composites.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

This is an introduction to protein analysis cases and related equipment by analysis specialists. This time, we will cover three devices: ITC, TAM, and NanoDSC!

Measurement capabilities offered by TA Instruments ☆ Thermal analysis / glass transition, crystallization, thermogravimetric analysis, curing reactions, expansion rate, thermal conductivity, shrinkage rate, effects of moisture, etc. ☆ Viscoelastic measurements (rheology, rheometers) / viscoelasticity, elastic modulus, viscosity, stress relaxation, creep, master curves, residual strain, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, etc. ☆ Microcalorimetry / intermolecular interactions, crystallization, amorphousness, aggregation/precipitation, dispersibility, solubility, compatibility, wettability, stability, adsorption, etc. ☆ Fatigue testing / tensile strength, temperature dependence, viscoelasticity, elastic modulus, viscosity, stress relaxation, creep, master curves, residual strain, etc.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

Device accessories

The DSC measurements conducted with microscope accessories provide insights through multiple applications to better understand the properties and behaviors of materials. It is possible to capture images related to crystallization and melting transitions, flow of materials above the glass transition and melting points, phase transitions, and volume dimensional changes associated with evaporation and sublimation. Visual observation of color changes and other appearance alterations is used in combination with DSC data to gain a deeper understanding of the material being analyzed.

• Color camera

This is an introduction to a protein analysis case study by a specialist in analysis. This time, we evaluated the substrate degradation rate and the effects of inhibitors using ITC.

• Analytical Equipment and Devices

Provides high reliability! An excellent tool for measuring a wide range of molecular interactions.

The Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) is a device that detects the heat changes associated with titration at a constant temperature and is primarily used for analyzing molecular interactions. It measures the minute heat changes that occur when molecules bind to each other, allowing for the determination of binding ratio (n), binding constant (Ka), and the enthalpy change of binding (ΔH) from the resulting titration curve. Affinity ITC is an isothermal titration calorimeter that provides high sensitivity, high reproducibility, and advanced ITC technology in life science research environments. With AccuShot technology, it delivers precise amounts of titrant to the appropriate location, and the FlexSpin stirring function achieves efficient mixing and high sensitivity. The automatic cleaning function prevents contamination between samples. It offers the option of standard capacity (1.0 mL) or low capacity cells (190 µL), and a temperature-controlled auto-sampler for 96 wells is also available.

This is the lecture material posted on YouTube ~DSC Basic Edition 1~. It is available for free download, so please feel free to make use of it.

Data Content This is a PDF version of the lecture materials from YouTube, converted for easier viewing. The video consists of a total of 12 pages and provides an easy-to-understand explanation for beginners about: - Principles - Analytical methods - Enthalpy relaxation (recovery) I think it might be difficult to understand with just the lecture materials, so please also refer to the YouTube videos below.
