pUNk: The Revolution in Protein Sizing Using DLS
Unchained Labs' pUNk transforms the way scientists measure protein properties using dynamic light scattering (DLS). This innovative system enables rapid and accurate determination of protein hydrodynamic size, size distribution, and aggregate population, while minimizing effort and time.
pUNk stands out for its unique optical design, offering remarkable sensitivity that can detect even the smallest variations in protein samples. With a minimum sample size of only 5 µL, pUNk is not only sample-efficient but also extremely fast, delivering results in approximately 30 seconds. This efficiency is further enhanced by its compatibility with HPLC systems, enabling continuous and integrated protein analysis.
One of the pUNk's major strengths is its ability to operate over a wide temperature range, from 0 to 90°C, with an accuracy of ±0.2°C. This allows users to study protein stability at different temperatures, thus identifying the optimal conditions for their experiments. Furthermore, the pUNk is designed for use in a variety of environments, with an ambient temperature range of 10 to 40°C and humidity control from 10 to 90%.
The pUNk is also versatile in terms of sample cuvette types, accepting disposable polycarbonate cuvettes, quartz cuvettes, and flow-through cuvettes, among others. This flexibility allows users to choose the configuration best suited to their specific needs.
In terms of technical specifications, the pUNk is equipped with a 660 nm laser diode and a photodiode module for precise detection. It is compatible with Windows XP and 7 operating systems and connects via a USB port for easy computer communication.
The Unchained Labs pUNk is an indispensable tool for modern laboratories, offering a unique combination of speed, accuracy, and flexibility for DLS protein analysis.
