Alto + Nicosystem Pro 16 Channel SPR Instrument

Accelerate your drug discovery with the world’s first digital, high-throughput, benchtop SPR system

Product Description

Alto is the world’s first SPR instrument to integrate digital microfluidics (DMF) with nanotechnology-based biosensors.

• Industry-leading data quality
• Sample friendly
• High-throughput powered by automation
• User-friendly

DMF technology enables all fluidics to be disposable, allowing for precise handling of 2µL sample volumes, crude sample compatibility and zero fluidics maintenance. Alto’s compatibility with automation for both hardware and software provides sample-in/answer-out data, industry-leading throughput, and 24+ hours of unattended run time.

Every aspect of Alto is designed with user-friendliness and accessibility in mind-from the flexible 16 channel design to the intuitive data analysis platform.

The first ever DMF-powered SPR system

Alto cartridges have completely revolutionized the interaction of fluidics and SPR sensors by integrating them into one disposable microwell plate.

Applications

• Kinetics/Affinity Characterization
• Kinetics/Affinity Screening
• Quantitation
• Epitope Mapping/Binning 

Comaptible with

• Proteins/Peptides, Antibodies
• Nucleic Acids, Small Molecules
• Carbohydrates
• Crude samples
• Viruses

Surface Chemistries

• Carboxyl
• Anti-His (kit)
• Streptavidin (kit)
• Protein A (kit)

Advantages of using DMF-powered SPR

• Decoupling of flow rate and sensor position from dispersion, increasing data quality
• Up to 200X less sample volume required – get full kinetics from a 2µL sample volume
• Decoupling of interaction time from sample volume, increasing assay flexibility
• Automated serial dilutions – reducing human error and saving time

Software designed for any skill level

A first of its kind, Alto’s comprehensive software, the Nicosystem, provides a one-stop centralized hub for acquisition and analysis of real-time binding data, while offering you the flexibility of accessing and sharing your experiments from anywhere.
