Product news

Berthold Technologies proudly announces the recently established co-operation with their new partner Biametrics GmbH. A spin-off of Tübingen University, Biametrics develops novel solutions for label-free analysis of bio-interactions.

The 1λ-Reflectometric Interference Detection (1λ-RIDe) is the missing link between conventional µArray approaches and currently available label-free techniques. The innovative Biametrics 1λ-RIDe-technology enables label-free high-throughput analysis of complete binding kinetics in a single measurement. With that, Berthold expands its product portfolio of bioanalytical instruments into the growing market of label-free technologies and can thus offer new approaches for applications in biotechnology, pharmaceutical drug discovery, in the area of product and quality control, as well as in consumer safety.

Instrument manufacturing is accomplished in compliance with the high quality standards at Berthold’s production site in Bad Wildbad, Germany. The instruments can be ordered as of now via the Berthold sales organizations. In addition, with Biametrics as a strong partner, Berthold is able to offer comprehensive support during assay development to their customers. Having broad experience in the development of heterogenic interaction assays for more than 20 years, Biametrics offers customized solutions perfectly matching the users´ individual applications

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Compound AnalysisCompound analysis is used to discover specific compounds that could be promising candidates for pharmaceutical use. This potential is identified when compounds have the desired effect, such as interaction with a target protein, during high throughput screening.High ThroughputHigh throughput experiments allow the simultaneous processing of several samples. This parallelization reduces the cost per experiment and increases reproducibility and output volume of data.PharmaceuticalsPharmaceuticals are medicinal drugs used in healthcare to diagnose, prevent, cure and treat illnesses. Pharmaceuticals that are excreted after use appear in wastewater and can have detrimental effects on the environment.BiotechnologyBiotechnology is the use of biological processes, organisms, or systems in the production of products and services. It spans a wide range of applications, including healthcare, agriculture, and environmental management.
