Protein Purification and Biophysical Characterisation 2026

In-person training

14 Jul 2026 - 15 Jul 2026

Date: 14-15 July 2026

Location: STEM Building, University of Bedfordshire, Luton, UK

Protein purification and biophysical characterisation of the resulting protein are two major disciplines in modern biochemistry, both widely used in basic academic research and in industry. The equipment used to purify proteins continues to evolve in both functionality and utility. This training course, hosted at the University of Bedfordshire’s STEM Building, aims to expose participants to the latest hardware required for protein purification and biophysical measurements.

Attendees will gain hands-on experience of cell lysis using the CF1 cell disrupter from Constant Systems; protein purification using AKTA systems and Unicorn software; the analysis of protein – ligand interactions using the NanoTemper Monolith and the new multi wavelength Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Optima analytical ultracentrifuge (AUC). Short lectures will provide background theory on the techniques used.
