VUV Analytics (Austin, Texas) is offering an academic grant program, available to all higher education institutions in the United States, for research involving the company’s VGA-100 chromatography detector.
The VGA-100 is the world’s first commercially available vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy instrument. The grant program represents an opportunity for the academic community to pioneer the largely unexplored research applications enabled by VUV spectroscopy.
The grant submission process requires all registrants to complete a short form, and submit a one- to two-page abstract describing the scope of the planned research. The awarded grantee will have access to the VGA-100 for an entire semester. The company’s proposal submission process runs from March 18 to May 1. The grantee will be announced on May 3.

FT-IR Analysis of pH and Xylitol Driven Conformational Changes of Ovalbumin–Amide VI Band Study
November 21st 2024This study uses Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to analyze how the globular protein ovalbumin's secondary structures transition under varying pH conditions in the presence of the cosolvent xylitol, highlighting the role of noncovalent interactions in these conformational changes.
