The Open AUC Project

Abstract: Progress in analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) has been hindered by obstructions to hardware innovation and by software incompatibility. In this paper, we announce and outline the Open AUC Project. The goals of the Open AUC Project are to stimulate AUC innovation by improving instrumentation, detectors, acquisition and analysis software, and collaborative tools. These improvements are needed for the next generation of AUC-based research. The Open AUC Project combines on-going work from several different grou… Show more

“…The design and the operating software (written in LabVIEW) are open source, as part of the Open-AUC work group. [43] The SWCNT samples in SC and SDBS in water and deuterated water were prepared as follows: HiPco SWCNTs (0.1 g L À1 ) and CoMoCAT SWCNTs (0.2 g L À1 ) were added to a few mL of the surfactant solution (10 g L À1 ) and dispersed with the aid of a bath sonicator (150 W, 30 min). Coarse aggregates were removed by mild centrifugation at 15 krpm (Sigma 4 K15).…”

“…53 The ''Open AUC Project'' includes the CFA instrument, modular software components, and a standardized database, all of which are open source, encouraging further development and user customizations. This new instrument should allow the user to plug and play detection systems at will.…”

“…The concentration of the sample for the determination of the particle size distribution was 10 −4 g mL −1 . A UV/Vis multi-wavelength analytical ultracentrifuge [63,64] developed as an open source instrument [65] was also used to determine the particle size distribution. UV/Vis optical spectra were obtained on a Varian Carey 100 spectrometer (Varian).…”
