OpenSPR is the world’s only benchtop surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument. It provides high quality, label-free interaction analysis for a fraction of the cost of existing solutions. Our unique nano-structured sensor surface uses localized SPR (LSPR) to deliver repeatable, highly sensitive kinetic data.

OpenSPR-XT is built with our cutting-edge and affordable nanotechnology biosensor platform. It has been seamlessly integrated with our robust autosampler system to allow for fully automated, 24/7 operation.

Compatible with:

  • Proteins
  • Lipids
  • Carbohydrates
  • Antibodies
  • Nucleic acids
  • Small molecules
  • Cells
  • Viruses
  • Nanoparticles & more

Applications:

  • Kinetics/affinity characterization
  • Competition assays
  • Target identification
  • Epitope mapping
  • Screening
  • Yes/No binding
  • Concentration
