About this instrument

The TA nanoITC Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) is a high-precision instrument used to measure the heat changes that occur during chemical reactions, particularly in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and material science. It provides detailed insights into thermodynamic properties such as binding affinities, enthalpy, and entropy, which are critical for understanding molecular interactions and reaction mechanisms.

Features & Specifications:

 
1. High Sensitivity:

As low as 50 nJ per injection, enabling the detection of weak interactions.
1. Small Sample Volume:
The nanoITC is designed for small sample volumes, with as little as 200 µLrequired for both the sample and reference cells.
1. Wide Range of Sample Types:
The instrument can analyze proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, small molecules, and polymers.
The system allows for high-throughput analysis of ligand-bindingand reaction kinetics.
1. Temperature Control:
The nanoITC features precise temperature control, typically ranging from 5°C to 80°C.
1. Data Analysis Software:
Comes with powerful data analysis softwarethat automates the calculation of thermodynamic parameters, including binding affinity (Ka), enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG).
