  • Patent number: 11307128
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the optical measurement of at least the stability and the aggregation of particles in a liquid sample which is located in a sample container, wherein the method comprises the following steps: irradiating the sample with light of at least one first wavelength in order to fluorescently excite the particles, irradiating the sample with light of at least one second wavelength in order to examine the scattering of the particles, measuring the fluorescence light which is emitted by the sample; and measuring the extinction light at the second wavelength, wherein the irradiated light of the second wavelength runs through the sample container, is reflected back, runs again through the sample container in the opposite direction and exits as extinction light, wherein the stability is determined based on the measured fluorescence light and the aggregation is measured based on the measured extinction light. The invention further relates to a corresponding apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20200278351
    Abstract: A method for measuring interactions between labeled particles and ligands comprising the steps: a) providing a sample comprising labeled particles and ligands in a solution, wherein the labeled particles are dissolved or dispersed in the solution or are immobilized on a solid support; b) exciting fluorescently the labeled particles and detecting the fluorescence of the excited particles at a predetermined temperature; c) repeating steps (a) and (b) multiple times at different concentrations of the ligands in the solution; and d) determining the interaction between the labeled particles and the ligands based on the ligand concentration dependent change of the fluorescence of the labeled particles, wherein the labeled particles are labeled with one or more dyes.
