Mike Bleach on 26 Jan 12By successfully integrating guided wave laser optics, microfluidics and robust data analysis software, researchers at Norton Scientific have invented a proprietary laser-based product that is now being marketed to laboratories and universities around the world. Targeting proteomics applications including crystallographers, the company is introducing this low-cost analytical system to researchers in biopharmaceutical and healthcare, advanced materials, food and beverage, bio-materials and in-water pollution monitoring. Norton intends to market simple-to-use products that can be used by technicians, rather than analysts, to be incorporated into any laboratories' own process control systems. Due to various applications of these materials, "macromolecule" covers the entire range of polymers and biopolymers − including proteins and peptides − that can be analysed using the intellectual property owned by NSI, such as contained in the revolutionary protein aggregation monitor (PAM).
