| Description | Couple the miniDAWN™ to your favorite HPLC or FPLC to determine the absolute molar masses and sizes of macromolecules and nanoparticles in solution from hundreds to millions of Daltons—without the need for column calibration standards. This sensitive unit requires as little as 25 ng injected Couple the miniDAWN™ to your favorite HPLC or FPLC to determine the absolute molar masses and sizes of macromolecules and nanoparticles in solution from hundreds to millions of Daltons—without the need for column calibration standards. This sensitive unit requires as little as 25 ng injected sample, 100 kDa polystyrene in THF (varies for other samples and solvents). The miniDAWN is engineered with self-contained modules that are easily replaced making it field serviceable. The system-ready monitors soise levels in real-time and an all-green status indicator lets you know when your system is ready for data collection. The optional DLS module uses the WyattQELS™ module, which fits inside the miniDAWN to providing on-line dynamic light scattering for determining radii down to 0.5 nm. All light scattering cells are subject to contamination by particles and to combat this issue the instrument has a self-cleaning, embedded COMET™ ultrasonic module. For maximum reliability and uptime, program the miniDAWN to automatically clean the cell after every run. The units may also be combined with a Calypso™ composition-gradient system to characterize biomolecular interactions....

AuraFast, decisive, low-volume AAV characterization for gene therapy development workflows
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have revolutionized gene therapy product development. With limited material available, allocating valuable samples for aggregate testing may have seemed impractical—until now.
Aura GT System is the first and only system designed to detect, count, and characterize AAV particles with just 5 µL. Combining backgrounded membrane imaging (BMI) with fluorescence membrane microscopy (FMM) dual-channel technology, confident decisions can be made earlier—one step closer to success.
Analyze small volumes. Only 5 µL of sample is needed, allowing particle characterization in early phase development.
Characterize and identify viral vectors. Aura GT System distinguishes between capsid and non-capsid aggregates and enables you to confirm whether DNA leakage is the root cause of aggregation straight from the box.
Gain deeper gene therapy understanding. Gain insight with Aura GT System’s duo of BMI and FMM, which distinguish and characterize different serotypes for aggregation and product features for deeper understanding of gene therapy – without tedious, labor-intensive assays.
Features:- Characterize AAV, lentivirus, and other viral vectors across key applications like aggregation and stability.
-
Detect, count, and characterize AAV particles with just 5 µL of sample. Identify capsid and DNA aggregates in your gene therapy sample with confidence.
-
Make direct comparisons between different formulations, AAV serotypes, storage conditions, and lots.
-
Detect and count particles from 1 µm up to 5 mm.
-
Save time with measurements under one minute per sample.

Using multi-angle static light scattering (MALS) and optional dynamic light scattering (DLS), DAWN analyzes molar massThe DAWN™ instrument is an advanced detector for precise characterization of proteins, polymers, and nanoparticles including viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles and vesicles. Using multi-angle static light scattering (MALS) and optional dynamic light scattering (DLS), DAWN analyzes molar mass, size, conformation, particle concentration, conjugation (e.g. glycoproteins) or encapsulation (e.g. AAV capsid content). It stands out with exceptional sensitivity and the widest range of molecular weight, size, and concentration of any MALS instrument, paired with a broad selection of configurations and optional modules for enhanced capabilities.
The DAWN is most often used in conjunction with gel permeation chromatography (GPC-MALS), size exclusion chromatography (SEC-MALS) or an EclipseTM, field-flow fractionation instrument (FFF-MALS) and may also be used with ion-exchange chromatography or reverse-phase chromatography. The instrument includes a high-resolution, touch-screen front panel to display data graphs, system health and instrument diagnostics and is accompanied by ASTRA™, the most versatile software package available for analysis of online multi-angle and dynamic light scattering....
