Fujiflim Life Science announced today that is has entered into a collaborative agreement with Dr. David Myszka and Biosensor Tools. The goal of the collaboration is the development of new applications and proof of principle testing for Fujifilm’s new highthroughput Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) system, the AP-3000. Fujifilm will install one if its new AP-3000 systems at Biosensor Tools so that Dr. Myszka and his company may experiment with new applications in the field of label-free biomolecular interactions by high-throughput SPR.

“Dr. Myszka is recognized as a leading expert in SPR biosensor technology and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with him and his team in order to develop applications for our new label-free affinity system, the AP-3000,” said Don Janezic, Business Development Manager of SPR Systems for Fujifilm Life Science, USA.

Biosensor Tools, located in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah, was created by Dr. David Myszka to provide contract services and training in the application of SPR-based biosensors.

BiosensorsBiosensors are devices used to detect an analyte using biological molecules specific to the analyte coupled to a detector. Biosensor instruments may be photometric, typically using surface plasma resonance (SPR), electrochemical or QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) biosensors. Biosensors should be selective, portable, robust and sensitive and have a fast response time. Systems may be manual or automated and usually have associated software.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
