New Application Note 023 on antibody analysis

Posted on by

Label-Enhanced SPR is already a well-established tool that improves the detectability of small molecules in SPR analysis 100-fold. Our new Application Note 23 shows how also the detectability of antibodies can be improved 100-fold. The key feature here is not the enhanced sensitivity but the enhanced specificity, or in other words, the elimination of signal contributions from non-specific binding of undefined sample substances.

Please check out our Application Notes page for more info or order the new document directly from sales@episentum.com.

EpiGrammer software is used for calculating enhanced sensorgrams based on our proprietary Label-Enhanced SPR technology:

  • 100-fold improved sensitivity as compared to standard SPR sensorgrams.
  • 100% specificity with respect to the dye-labelled species.

News in version 2.1:

  • Extended linear dynamic range and more efficient rejection of large disturbances.
  • Improved quantification of small binding levels in presence of varying DMSO concentrations.
  • The interactive, easy-to-use graphical interface and the data import/export routines are unchanged.
