PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY

Protein-based drugs are the fastest growing class of drugs for the treatment of many diseases in humans, ranging from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease. Accurate viscosity values of proteins are essential in understanding behavior, designing delivery systems, and accurately determining particle size/hydrodynamic radius.

VROC® powered viscometers deliver accurate and reliable viscosity results that are required to understand behaviors of antibodies and other proteins. By applying a wide range of viscosities and shear rates, you can gain a full length range of insight into your proteins.

Remember VROC® technology :

  • Smallest sample volumes
  • Direct shear rate control
  • First principle or true viscosity
