<p><strong>Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) payloads are the top choice when it comes to delivering a wide range of nucleic acid therapeutics, like RNA and plasmid DNA (pDNA). But when it comes to characterizing LNPs, assays for size, payload quantification and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) are split up in different steps that slow down any workflow. This split‑assay approach adds complexity, from increased pipetting steps to surfactants that alter pDNA structure and reduce reproducibility and sample throughput. As LNP programs scale up, researchers need simpler, faster LNP characterization in an EE% method that works with any nucleic acid payload.</strong></p><p>In this SelectScience® webinar, Dr. Kevin Lance, Director of Product Management at Unchained Labs, will present new data showing how Stunner AF measures EE% for both RNA‑ and pDNA‑containing LNPs without surfactants, and will demonstrate how avoiding surfactant‑driven particle disruption creates a platform EE% assay that also allows simultaneous reads on size and aggregation from the same measurement.

<h4><strong>The Problem</strong></h4><p>Lab automation promises speed and scale, but too often it operates without intelligence. Researchers must translate scientific intent into rigid workflows, scripts, and parameters — requiring deep expertise and constant manual intervention. As experiments grow more complex, automation becomes harder to adapt, forcing scientists to rely on guesswork and slowing iteration.</p><h4><strong>The Solution</strong></h4><p>Stuntman brings native AI into automation to fundamentally change how experiments are run. With built-in intelligence, Stuntman allows researchers to describe their intent in plain language and have experiments designed, executed and analyzed end-to-end. Stuntman creates workflows, runs experiments, logs results, and hands data back for AI-driven interpretation – guiding experiments forward with clarity, adaptability, and purpose.</p><h4><strong>The Proof</strong></h4><p>In this webinar, see how Stuntman turns ideas into executable experiments across pharma, biopharma, materials, energy, consumer goods workflows, and more. Learn how Stuntman’s built-in AI enables experiment design, automated execution and rapid iteration — all on a single, integrated platform.</p><h4><strong>Key Learning Objectives:</strong></h4><ul><li>Understand why traditional lab automation struggles to scale with experimental complexity and where intelligence is missing.</li><li>See how Stuntman embeds native AI into automation workflows to translate scientific intent into executable experiments.</li><li>Learn how a fully integrated platform connects experiment design, execution, data logging, and AI-driven iteration across industries.</li></ul><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Ruja Shrestha (Product Manager, Unchained Labs)</p><p><strong>Presenter:&nbsp;</strong>Sara Kobilka (Contributing Editor, C&amp;EN Media Group)</p></blockquote>
