As a new principal investigator, you now have a leadership role, guiding your lab members toward a common research goal. Each team member may bring their own unique strengths and weaknesses that...

If you study neurodegenerative diseases (ND), you already know they are one of the most challenging — and fascinating — types of diseases to study. With protein aggregation being a hallmark of ND,...

Prometheus, the new gold standard, now provides clarity to the most challenging stability characterizations

Grant writing is an important bread-and-butter skill that all principal investigators must develop, as this will ensure your lab gets funded to continue conducting research. Reagents, lab member...

PRESS RELEASE South San Francisco, CA. NanoTemper Technologies, well-known for creating biophysical tools that address challenging characterizations, today announced the new Monolith, redesigned...

If you’ve been following my cooking and chemistry blog series, I hope you’ve enjoyed recaps of interesting lessons I learned from HarvardX’s course. For my last post in this series, I’m digging...

Almost as soon as the Monolith launched, the handful of people that made up NanoTemper in those early days huddled around, brainstorming how to translate the technology into a well-based assay....

What would you do if you created a brilliant new invention, but no one knew or understood why they would use it? You know that it would change the way everyone works and lives, but you need to...

By 2014, NanoTemper had won a slew of awards for the Monolith. Labs throughout Europe were using MST to measure their biological interactions, and the technology was starting to catch on...

It’s late at night in Munich, Germany sometime in the late 2000’s. A man huddles in a dimly lit basement, painting. He paints at night after a complaint from the professors upstairs about the...

Think back to your childhood. When people asked you, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” what was your response? At a guess, if everyone did what they said they planned at age four, we’d...

Surely you’ve found yourself in a research situation where your experimental results left you scratching your head. Any type of lab work will sometimes do that to you, and Surface Plasmon...

Centrally located in the brand-new, swanky Minato Mirai Centre building in Yokohama Minato Mirai, Japan is NanoTemper Technologies’ newest tech-forward demo facility. Opened to support our...

In this six-part blog series, I’ll share interesting and practical cooking insights that I learned from HarvardX’s Science & Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to Soft Matter Science (chemistry). I’m a...

Proper assessment of protein stability is not only worthwhile but necessary. Those who carefully evaluate the quality of their protein samples and optimize preparative workflows improve their...

Plant research paves the way for important advances in agriculture, ecology, and medicine. As an example, discoveries into plant pathogens and plant stress response lead to many incremental...

As you become an expert in analysis with your Prometheus data, you will start to streamline your analysis process. Building large datasets is important for many workflows, whether you work on...

Have you ever found yourself combing through a dozen experiments, sorting through all your data, and trying to draw conclusions? Of course you have! Researchers spend their days alternating...

Developing good scientific research is a long process. You start with a hypothesis, conduct experiments to support it, and draw conclusions from there. But the process is iterative—every question...
