SAXS in the Pharmaceutical Industry Short online course 22 & 24 June 2021 14:00–16:10 CEST
Course on Small Angle X-ray Scattering in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Xenocs and BIOSAXS invite you to join our interactive two-day short course focused on the benefits and use of Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) for the pharmaceutical industry.
In addition to showcasing the benefits of SAXS at various stages of the drug development & production processes, we will cover practical workflows and how you can characterize and analyse (bio-)therapeutic systems – such as fusion proteins, monoclonal antibodies, nucleic acids, drug delivery systems and, of course, emerging vaccines – with SAXS in the lab and at synchrotron.
Reserve your place today to learn:
- how SAXS is used during drug discovery, formulation and production processes,
- what you can gain from the SAXS technique and how it complements nicely other analytical workflows,
- how properties such as overall shape & size, conformational & oligomeric polydispersity, degree of flexibility & stability are addressed with SAXS analysis,
- how you can characterize your samples with SAXS in your lab or at synchrotron facilities.
On request participants will receive the course materials.
