Press Release Body: (SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA - January 2, 2008) Wyatt Technology
Corporation, the world leader in absolute macromolecular characterization
instrumentation and software, will be showcasing its DynaProT Titan Plate reader on
booth #5629 at Pittcon 2008, Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, 1-7
March, 2008. Wyatt's Dynapro is the only automated, non-invasive dynamic light
scattering system available for biomolecular characterization. The plate reader
incorporates patented, state of the art technology to deliver superior light
scattering performance as well as integrated data collection and analysis software
designed specifically for stable and accurate protein batch analysis.

The pioneering DynaPro Titan Plate reader can be used to perform fast and accurate
sample analysis in a wide range of applications. These include researching antibody
formulations in a variety of solution conditions, screening proteins prior to
crystallization trials and the bioprocessing and quality control of viral particles
in vaccines.

The only alternative automated methods to the DynaPro Plate Reader potentially harm
sample stability. Since the DynaPro does not suck samples from the well plate into
the sample cell where measurements are then taken, it does not perturb the sample.
Other devices rely on this sucking process, which can damage the sample, leading to
inaccurate measurements, longer sample times, and potential sample contamination
with every measurement.

The innovative DynaProT Titan Plate eliminates this risk while reducing the amount
of time scientists need to spend operating and monitoring the instrument. The
DynaPro's non-invasive technology measures the sample in the industry standard
microplates (96, 384 or 1536 well plates), where the data are collected
automatically by the easy-to-use DYNAMICS software. The software can be customized
to integrate with any of the industry leading liquid handling robotic systems. Once
the data have been collected, the protein samples can be retrieved and the plates
discarded, with no time required to be spent on cleaning.

Using the DynaPro Titan Plate Reader, protein samples can be analyzed in duplicate
or triplicate to ensure the greatest possible accuracy. Users therefore benefit from
increased productivity and can have complete confidence in the results produced by
the software. Additionally, only very small sample volumes are needed, as little as
5 microlitres per well. This automated capability and the low sample volumes
required provide users with the ability to perform experiments in less time and
without the inconvenience of conventional batch DLS. Sample times are also reduced
from 15 minutes to less than one minute.

The Dynapro Titan Plate is now also available with temperature control capability to
perform accelerated stability, thermal melting and temperatures studies of multiple
samples.
