Product news

The SensiQ Pioneer continues the tradition of cost-effective biomolecular interaction analysis systems from ICx Technologies. The Pioneer is a three channel system designed to provide high sensitivity for studies such as small molecule-protein interactions and also high accuracy and precision for demanding kinetic and affinity determinations.

Application areas particularly suited to the Pioneer include:

- Antibody Screening and Characterization
- Protein-Small Molecule Interactions for Drug Discovery
- Protein-Protein Interaction Kinetics
- Antibody Quality Control
- Disease Mechanism Studies
- Biomarker Development

Incorporated into the SensiQ Pioneer are capabilities normally found in higher end systems. These capabilities include sample handling from microplates, vials, or tubes, in-line buffer degassing, gradient injection, detection to 150 Da, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Advanced instrument control and data analysis software provide a powerful yet easy to use interface for producing high quality data. A wide range of surface chemistries are also available. No matter what your application may be, the SensiQ Pioneer is the choice for researchers looking for high quality affinity and kinetics data in a cost-effective system.

Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.Compound LibrariesCompound libraries, or chemical libraries, are used in drug discovery for the identification of potential therapeutics compounds. Used in conjunction with high-throughput screening, the libraries of stored compounds are often generated for specific purposes as a drug target or disease model. Cheminformatics are commonly used when designing a compound library and software can be used to analyze the screening process.  Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.
