Nicoya Surface Plasmon Resonance System

The Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is used to characterize the binding affinity between a bioreceptor (such as antibodies, aptamers, or synthetic molecular probes) and the target molecule (e.g., chemicals, metabolites, proteins, DNAs, etc.) of interest. The instrument allows us to monitor in real-time the binding (association) and unbinding (dissociation) rates as well as the equilibrium bonding constants between the target and the receptor.
