Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) is a label free analysis technique that measures the change in thickness a biolayer (typically due to binding events) on the surface of a sensor.
Octet is the leading line of analytical instruments for precisely and accurately monitor binding of molecules to a biosensor in real time using BLI and Dip and Read™ biosensors.
By monitoring interactions between molecules bound to a biosensor (e.g., a ligand) and molecules of interest (e.g., an analyte), information about the concentration of the analyte, binding specificity, the kinetics of the interaction, and structural information can be determined.
To reserve Octet instrument time, you may log into your iLAB account and choose “Schedule Equipment” to book your slot. For external users, please contact us first to get price/rate information and the access to the Octet lab.
The facility also provides four types of biosensors that were purchased in bulk from Sartorius, Anti-Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST), Anti-Penta-HIS (HIS1K), Protein A (ProA), and Streptavidin (SA) Biosensors. You may request these tips through iLAB.
