Free LE-SPR method files for Biacore S200

Posted on by

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.

 

Run ELISA on your SPR instrument!

Episentum is developing a high-sensitivity, ELISA-like sandwich assay format for Biacore SPR instruments. The format is based on the proprietary Label-Enhanced SPR technology of Episentum, and will utilize standard commercial ELISA kits.

The new format can be used to replace plate-based ELISA assays with real-time Biacore assays. Or, the other way around: to develop new ELISA kits and methodology using Biacore as a development tool.

We are now looking for development partners for the further refinement and testing of the new assay format. If you’re interested – for example if you are an ELISA developer, an ELISA end user, or if you’re interested in transferring ELISA assays to the Biacore – please call back at info@episentum.com for more details.

We are now offering a Label-Enhanced SPR Validation Kit B9003 to be used as a learning tool or test tool for Biacore™ users that want to get a first acquaintance to the LE-SPR technology. The Validation Kit can also be used to test a SPR instrument, or as a positive control sample during regular LE-SPR analysis. More information on the Validation Kit is found in our recently published Episentum Technical Note 012.

To get a free copy of our Technical Note 012 or for any other enquiries, please contact us at sales@episentum.com.

 

New LE-SPR publication

Posted on by

Label-Enhanced SPR (LE-SPR) can be used to clearly confirm binding site specificity. Brandon Garcia and Brian Geisbrecht at Kansas State University and their co-workers have used LE-SPR in a very elegant manner to study small-molecule inhibitors of the complement system using a standard Biacore™ T200 instrument. Taking advantage of the greatly simplified interpretation of LE-SPR data, binding site specificity was unambiguously confirmed in a way that would have been hard to achieve with conventional SPR.

The full study is recently published in The Journal of Immunology.

For more information about the LE-SPR technology, please contact us directly at info@episentum.com.
