PlexArray® Analyzer

The PlexArray® Analyzer is the core of the PlexArray® HT System. It utilizes the Kretschmann configuration for SPR based detection and real-time monitoring of analytes binding to user-defined content arrayed on PlexArray® Nanocapture® Sensor Chips.

Advanced optics, specialized software, and the selection of PlexArray® Nanocapture Sensor Chips with application specific surface chemistries enable simultaneous measurement of high density and unique ligand/analyte interactions on a single array.

The PlexArray® Analyzer is an easy to use bench top device that requires smaller amounts of valuable samples while interrogating more than 10 times the number of targets in a single assay as compared to other SPR based systems.

Features of the PlexArray® Analyzer include:

• Minimal sample volume requiring 0.5ml volume or less for many samples.
• Temperature controlled 96 well auto sampler for walk away experimental run set up. Cooling to 4ºC
• Temperature controlled and thermally stable analytical chamber for applications requiring variable temperature settings and stable base lines. 10º to 40º C.
• Proprietary flow cell design allowing reduced analyte volume and optimal flow over the entire printed array surface. Top mounted design for easy access and printing flexibility.
• Inert, biocompatible, metal-free flow path for non-reactive and corrosion resistant processing.
• No hazardous materials used in construction or generated from the process for safe work environment and waste disposal.
• In-line degasser that eliminates the need to degas water and buffer prior to an analytical run.
• User-guided software for easy instrument control, reagent loading and experimental set up. Automated data analysis software compatible with large data sets.
• Dedicated personal computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
• Ability to analyze multiple analytes against potentially thousands of ligands.
• Cost effective, high throughput method for studying thousands of unique interactions in a single experiment.
