We have now adopted the Label-Enhanced SPR technology also to the Biacore™ S200 top-of-the-line SPR instrument. We are now supplying ready-to-use LE-SPR method files for the majority of the Biacore range of instruments: S200, T200, T100, 3000, and 2000.

The ready-to-use method files make it easy to get started with LE-SPR. And even better: the method files are supplied for free to our LE-SPR customers.

We are also interested in developing new method files or templates together with our customers. If you have any enquiries about LE-SPR method development, or if you would want more information about LE-SPR in general, please contact Episentum on sales@episentum.com.

We are happy to offer our Validation Kit B9003 in packs of three for the price of two: €180 in Europe and $220 elsewhere (+ freight). We also include a 1-month free trial license to our EpiGrammer™ software in the package. The offer is valid throughout February 2018.

Accurate Surface Plasmon Resonance analysis requires high quality sample injection pulses. Most commercial SPR instruments offer pre-programmed “System Check” procedures that diagnose injection pulse quality in order to detect e.g. leakage, blockage, or dispersion in the microfluidic system. However, such tests are based on pure refractive index measurements, and are plagued by a number of well-known errors and artefacts.

LE-SPR offers a rigorous injection test that monitors the true transport of analyte in to and out of the detection flow cell without any refractive index artefacts. Using our LE-SPR Validation Kit, the true shape of injection pulses can be accurately assessed by simple inspection.
