Empyrean Alpha 1 - XRD

Grating-coupled interferometry (GCI) is ideally suited for fragment-based drug discovery due to inherent sensitivity of the detection principle, and the ability to capture fast transitions. It uses the refractive index changes that occur with protein binding and are measured as time-dependent phase-shift signals. Explore how the Creoptix® WAVEsystem combines GCI with innovative no-clog microfluidics, permitting the study of biomolecular interactions using crude, unpurified samples, or in complex matrices, such as serum, plasma, or cell supernatant. The WAVEsystem uses a robust sensor and microfluidics cartridge, the WAVEchip®, with four parallel flow channels, available in different surface matrix chemistries suitable for diverse applications, such as protein, antibody, VLPs, lipids, and others.

In this white paper, Malvern Panalytical provides an introduction to the X-ray diffraction analysis of key structural parameters in epitaxial GaN layers. Fundamental crystallographic concepts are introduced and related to the specific requirements of the technological structures created for optoelectronic and electronic devices employing GaN and related compounds.
