Hi First thanks for a great conference in Cordoba, it was a great pleasure to attend. With many interesting and inspiring posters and presentations (not forgetting the suprb food) I had a question from a collegue which I will post here. He is interrested in measuring insulin and water in intact vials as the leave the filling station, so thats with the speed of several vials/sec. I suggested to contact Brimrose or Zeiss with their fast instruments, or meaby a single wavelength fluorescence detector? The vials are app. 8mm (and app. 8 cm long) thick made of glass that does not absord in the NIR spectra and the sample looks a little like milk, white slurry because of the insulin crystals. So we have multible problems 1) we need a very fast measurement 2) highly scattering sample 3) high water concentration 4) there is a risk of settlement of the crystals 5) varying particle size If anyone have some pointers for me or could help me out with some references, both about high-speed measurements and NIR/quantitative insulin models then my day will be a lot better ;-) Kindly regards Erik Skibsted Novo Nordisk and University of Amsterdam www.tipb.nl | ||
