The Biophysics group at Genentech has published a new paper on the use of ‘chaser’ assays to study extremely long dissociation times, which has been added to our Scientific Publications page. The corresponding poster was honoured with the poster award at the recent GE Healthcare DiPIA 2018 conference in Boston.
The Episentum office is open for customer service all summer except weeks 30-31 (23 July – 3 August).
We would like to wish all our Customers, Clients, Companions, and Contacts a pleasant, dye-enhanced summer with a yellow sun, blue skies, green trees, and the odd white cloud.
We have launched a new version of the EpiGrammer™ software that improves the performance even of top notch SPR instruments. Contact us on sales@episentum.com for a copy of our latest Application Note 26 to learn how the new version improves the signal-to-noise ratio and reduces the disturbance level of the Biacore™ T200 SPR instrument.
The new EpiGrammer 3.0 version uses improved algorithms for enhanced performance of Biacore™ T100/T200 systems. We are offering a limited number of free trial licenses to the pilot version of EpiGrammer 3.0 to selected customers. If you’re interested, please contact us on sales@episentum.com.
Please check out our new web page listing scientific publications relating to Label-Enhanced SPR and some SPR publications of general background interest!
For any new Episentec™ dye reagent orders placed before the end of 2017, we are happy to offer a 20% discount plus a free one-month trial license to the EpiGrammer™ LE-SPR software.
To place an order or for any other enquiries, please contact us at sales@episentum.com.
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.
Episentum will present a poster on Label-Enhanced SPR at the NovAlix conference Biophysics in Drug Discovery, Strasbourg, France, 6-9 June 2017. We will display the enhanced sensitivity in small molecule analysis, as well as the enhanced specificity and the dual-colour capabilities in protein analysis.
We’re looking forward to meeting with lots of SPR scientists and other biophysicists, including old and new customers. For any information on LE-SPR prior to the meeting, or to book a one-to-one meeting, please contact us at info@episentum.com.
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.
Episentum will present a poster at the Advances in Drug Discovery meeting, Cambridge, UK, 6-7 March 2017. The poster will demonstrate how Label-Enhanced SPR can improve the surface plasmon resonance analysis of small molecules as well as larger biomolecules.
We’re looking forward to meeting with lots of SPR users, including old and new customers. For any information on LE-SPR prior to the meeting, or to book a one-to-one meeting, please contact us at info@episentum.com.
To celebrate the approaching Holiday Season, we’re offering free licenses to our Label-Enhanced SPR software. We want to help more scientists get started with LE-SPR, and we also want to reward our existing customers. So here’s the offer:
