Education Kit
We know it is hard for lab instructors to find the time to develop new lab exercises from the ground up. That’s why we developed the SPR Educational Kits – turn-key "Experiments in a box" that will have your new SPR lab up and running on day 1. Our kits include all of the buffers, reagents, protocols, and documents you need to run full SPR kinetic experiments.
-
Experiments are based on industry-relevant applications
-
Cost-effective and flexible for a variety of lab sizes and formats
-
Minimize development time and maximize student experience
“What impressed me most about the OpenSPR was the ease of use and relative low cost combined with a sophisticated, modern technology that was portable and did not require dedicated personnel for its operation.”
