URT offers extremely high sensitivity for monitoring physical changes in both homogeneous and heterogeneous liquid samples independent of solute type, concentration, particle size, or turbidity.

Particle Characterization:  Structural characterization of fluid and solid particles from nano- to micrometer size range under isothermal or temperature scaning conditions. Slow scanning rates along with sensitivity to hydrophobic interactions and molecular packaging provide high resolution information.

Enzyme Activity and Monitoring:  Direct probing of enzyme activity including highly turbid samples by end point or kinetic measurements. No sample labeling or preparation required and scalable to full automation. Applicable to a broad range of samples.

Protein Stability and Aggregation:  Structural characterization of peptides and proteins up to very high concentrations under isothermal or temperature scanning conditions. Complements spectroscopy and calorimetry by providing additional dynamic information.

Reagent Quality Control:  URT’s sensitivity to concentration changes of solutes (e.g., salts, carbohydrates, etc.) allows for rapid detection of composition changes in reagents and buffers thereby ensuring product reproducibility and process consistency.
