A couple weeks ago, our technical specialists Rick Paulino and Gordon Stack measured different brands and types of olive oil. The two technical specialists tested to see if there was a difference between 100% pure olive oil compared to olive oil that has been blended with 10% canola oils. Their study concluded there was a ~10 cP difference between the oils, with olive oil boasting a higher viscous characteristic.

If you've been keeping up with our blogs, our technical specialists have been in various locations around the world the past couple of months. From domestic and international states & cities, we've attended conferences in Boston, Indiana, Korea, Japan, various parts of Europe, and more.
Can you guess where we are now?

We hope everyone is doing well as we reach the half-mark of 2018! It is no wonder that May and June tend to be extremely busy, as many of you are preparing for vacation or travel. Make sure to wear sunblock and other preventative measures to keep you from excessive heat & direct exposure from UV rays!

We are all familiar with maintaining our lab instruments, but how often do we perform maintenance on our lab methods or SOPs?

In the upcoming weeks, we are proud to announce the release of our latest application note regarding concentration dependence in protein viscosity. In this app note, Dr. Stacey Elliott gathered viscosity data for Bovine Gamma Globulin (BgG) formulations over the full concentration range, including therapeutic levels ≥ 100 mg/mL, using the VROC®Initium. The solution buffer included sucrose which is a common additive to enhance stabilization during freeze-drying and storage. Relative viscosity versus concentration curves were fit with the Ross-Minton equation which is a frequently used analysis tool for protein formulations.

In case you haven't seen it yet, we released a new app note last week regarding viscosity reduction in protein solutions. In this application note, Dr. Elliott discusses the idea that the viscosity of a protein solution depends on the nature of the individual and protein-protein interaction (PPI). Both of the individual characteristics, such as size and shape, as well as the pair interactions can be influenced by components in the buffer formulation. As a result, it is often desirable to reduce viscosity values so that formulations are suitable for a particular application or process (ie: injection).
