Tech Blast | Surface plasmon resonance

Drug discovery and development Molecular biology

In this Tech Blast episode supported by Sartorius (Göttingen, Germany), we speak with Derrick Christopher Campos, Product Manager at Sartorius (TX, USA), about surface plasmon resonance (SPR). This tried-and-true technique allows researchers to do label-free protein characterization; here, Derrick discusses how Sartorius improves upon multi-cycle kinetics with their OneStep® gradient injection.

Contents:

  • Introduction: 00:00–00:33
  • Please can you introduce SPR and tell us about the limitations of the current multi-cycle kinetics approach? 00:33–02:54
  • How does Sartorius’ OneStep® gradient injections overcome these limitations? 02:54–06:55
  • What are the benefits of OneStep® gradient injections? 06:55–09:36
  • Why is this new tool important? And what can it do for researchers using SPR regularly? 09:36–11:27
  • What does the future hold for SPR and the OneStep® gradient injection? 11:27–12:25
