 Biosensor provides high-throughput capabilities
SAW Instruments’s samX acoustic biosensor is designed to provide enhanced workflow flexibility and a high-throughput capability for applications involving the analysis of molecular interactions on cellular surfaces. The device uses SAW’s proprietary surface acoustic wave technology to detect mass binding and protein-conformational changes on whole cells. The company’s range of sam acoustic biosensors also offers real-time analysis using viable cells while eliminating the need for molecular labeling.
The samX features two sensor chips, rather than the single chip in SAW's existing sam5 models, and incorporates eight analysis channels. The biosensor also contains advanced fluidic system and each channel can be used independently or via combinations of 4 x 2, 2 x 4, or 1 x 8 channels, offering a highly flexible workflow. In addition, different ligands can now be automatically immobilized on-line at each chip position via the fluidics, thus eliminating the need for off-line protein loading while providing more accurate and reliable results.
