Flow-induced dispersion analysis (FIDA) instrument

Description

DTU plans to purchase an instrument is for flow-induced dispersion analysis (FIDA) to measure sizes of biomolecules, complexes and aggregates. The instrument allows to precisely measure diffusion coefficients and particle sizes, and allows to study biomolecular interactions and assembly and aggregation phenomena, such as amyloid fibril formation and liquid-liquid phase separation. The instrument consists of a long thin glass capillary through which the solution to be studied is pushed by an applied pressure, a fluorescence detector at the end of the capillary, as well as an autosampler that can be loaded with two 96 well plates. Therefore the instrument is very suitable for high throughput experiments. DTU intends to award the contract to Fida Biosystems ApS.
