Life science and Biotechnology companies are among the most frequent industrial users of synchrotron and neutron facilities. The techniques available allow investigation and development of tailor-made biomolecules, biomaterials and biocompatible materials for use in their novel products, e.g. drugs, Lab-on-a-chip devices, and biomechanics.
Science Link offers Life Science and Biotechnology companies in the Baltic Sea Region access to experimental techniques at the partner synchrotron and neutron facilities applicable to a range of problems including:
- Protein structure
- Drug characterisation and the development of novel pharmaceuticals
- Polymorphism diffraction
- Distribution of elements in biomaterials
- Organic product identification and diffusion of products
- Tomography of biomechanical components
The experimental techniques available include:
- Protein crystallography
- X-ray absorption spectroscopy
- X-ray and neutron powder diffraction
- Small angle X-ray and neutron scattering
- X-ray and neutron reflectometry
