Product news

A new special protein system is being launched that can process complex protein assays 40% faster than current systems.

Binding Site will unveil Optilite on stand G028 at the EuroMedLab Exhibition in Paris on 22-24th June, hosting product demonstrations for customers throughout the event.

The company has spent more than four years developing Optilite in response to customer demand and the results are truly outstanding. In independent testing by 11 European clinical sites, Optilite has proven consistent efficiency and assay performance in real-world lab conditions.

Charles de Rohan, CEO of Binding Site commented “The results we’ve seen have been fantastic with labs reporting an average of 40 per cent decrease in the time it takes for them to run Optilite, compared with other market leading protein systems.”

Optilite is designed for workflow optimization and stores up to 34 different reagents on board at any one time. As well as the Freelite®, Hevylite® and subclass assays, Optilite offers a comprehensive menu for special protein analysis.

Continuous loading of samples, reagents and consumables plus automatic re-dilution to end result, enables labs to maximize test throughput whilst minimizing hands on time. With multi-lingual touch-screen technology and automatic barcode recognition, Optilite has been designed with the user in mind and at just 94 x 70 x 62cm, is one of the smallest systems on the market. It is so easy to use that minimum training is required and any level of staff can be confident with the results.

Optilite has robust antigen excess protection, with three detection methods, that can be tailored to individual assays, thereby ensuring accurate and reliable results.

De Rohan added: “We wanted to bring simplicity to complex analytical processes. The result is Optilite, the latest innovation in special protein testing, which offers laboratories reliable clinical accuracy, speed and efficiency.”

HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Protein QuantificationThe detection and quantification of proteins in a sample is vital across life sciences, pharmaceutical research and clinical diagnostics, and a variety of equipment is available to scientists to simplify the workflow. Proteins of interest can be easily labeled and detected on light-based detection instruments. Immunoassay kits allow you to identify a specific protein of interest and protein detection beads or antibody microarrays allow you to identify multiple specific proteins at once. Protein interactions and enzyme activity can also be monitored with protein-protein interaction assays. Additionally, the biophysical characterization of proteins is made easy with biokinetic analyzers.
