The DeltaPi tensiometers can be used for a wide range of surface chemistry experiments.

Binding/intercalation of drugs and peptides/proteins into lipid membranes...

Biomembranes, membrane ‘rafts’, lipids, and membrane proteins are entering into the forefront of biosciences. Use of monolayers has paved way to breakthroughs in the molecular mechanisms of action of phospholipases, lung surfactant, cellular signaling, antibiotic peptides, blood coagulation, and cell adhesion, just to name a few examples.

The Kibron DeltaPi and DeltaPi-4 can be readily operated as standard, high precision tensiometers. However, they can be operated as Langmuir-tensiometers and arethus  ideal for the following applications:

A large number of experiments can be be made with Kibron DeltaPi/DeltaPi-4, with minimal material consumption. One milligram of a precious peptide is plenty when you work with DeltaPi.
