SAXS vs DSC
What are the advantages and limitations of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and how do they complement each other?
SAXS as a tool to study Lipid Nanoparticles
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are one of the most exciting technologies in the drug delivery world. Previously used to study lipid nanoparticles and lipoplexes, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) has proven to be an excellent technique for characterizing the structure of LNPs.

Shear alignment of Pluronic block copolymers
The structural evolution of P123 Pluronics was monitored and analyzed through shearSAXS measurements performed with the Xenocs Couette stage Poloxamers, also known under commercial names as Pluronics®, Synperonics® or Kolliphor® are a class of synthetic triblock copolymers that are composed of polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polypropylene oxide (PPO) blocks. They…
Shearing of clay minerals in suspension
Investigation of smectite suspension shear behavior through SAXS measurements performed with the Xenocs Couette stage Clay minerals are a group of hydrous aluminosilicate minerals that are commonly found in soils, sediments, and rocks. The most common types include kaolinite, illite, and smectite, each with its own distinct characteristics and uses.…
