Viscosity Reduction in Protein Solutions
Is the viscosity of your protein formulations too high? If you don't measure, you will never know!
Viscosity of a protein solution depends on the nature of the individual and protein-protein interaction (PPI). Both of the individual characteristics, such as size and shape, as well as the pair interactions can be influenced by components in the buffer formulation. As a result, it is often desirable to reduce viscosity values so that formulations are suitable for a particular application or process (ie: injection).
