Light scattering information is also used to assess colloidal stability; however, backreflection is more sensitive for certain sample types. Further, the interplay between protein unfolding and the formation of amorphous aggregation is easier to determine using both methods in parallel.
Onset of turbidity, Tturb
Onset of turbidity, or Tturb, is the temperature along a thermal denaturation gradient at which the sample begins to exhibit sights of turbidity. This is generally an indicator of instability and aggregation of the sample.
