| Name: | Octet RED System |
| Product URL: | http://www.fortebio.com/octet_RED.html |
| Description: | The Octet RED System broadens your analysis capabilities with label-free interaction detection capabilities ranging from protein-protein down to protein-small molecule. Rapid data acquisition and high sensitivity mean that the fastest reactions and smallest binders will be easily characterized. Promising leads can be selected earlier in the drug discovery process, as the Octet RED System validates screening campaign hits and eliminates false positives. Additionally, assess potential cross-reactivity issues by assaying counterscreen targets in the same run as hit confirmation. From protein therapeutics to drug discovery, you get cost-effective answers you need in a timeframe that works for you. Key Benefits RELATED LINKS Octet RED System Specifications * Accuracy The Octet RED System’s rapid sampling rate enables fast and slow kinetics to be detected reproducibly and with low noise. * Detect Low Molecular Weight Molecules Increased sensitivity enables the detection of detecting low molecular weight molecules. * Higher Throughput Assay up to eight independent parallel interactions and up to 96 samples in unattended operation. * Ease of Use With no microfluidics, the Octet RED System requires almost no maintenance, and is easy for non-expert users to learn. * Value Priced well below other instruments with similar kinetics characterization capabilities. |
