BLItz platform for label-free protein analysis
ForteBio's BLItz platform for cost-efficient label-free analyses of proteins using small sample volumes.
BLItz is small–taking up less surface area than a tablet personal computer–so
it can fit easily in an individual scientist's workspace and is simple to
use. It requires only four microliters of sample, which is 15 to 20 times
less volume than needed for traditional, SPR-based label-free assays or
microplate-based ELISA assays. Additionally, its Dip and Read assays utilize
disposable, ready-to-use biosensors to uniquely provide results in seconds
to minutes.
BLItz utilizes the same BioLayer Interferometry (BLI) technology that powers
ForteBio's flagship Octet instrumentation platform, which enables real-time
kinetics, affinity and quantitation measurements in high-throughput
applications, with unprecedented ease of use and cost-efficiency.
The new BLItz system is designed for any researcher working with proteins,
particularly those who analyze column fractions, monitor protein expression,
perform reagent QC, identify mechanism of action and signaling, and run
protein engineering studies.
