Why Every Biochemistry Teaching Lab Needs SPR Technology

SPR is a gold standard technique used in the biotechnology industry to measure binding kinetics and molecular interactions. This data is of critical importance – it helps scientists understand how diseases work, helps them to design the next blockbuster drug, and helps ensure biosimilars meet FDA regulations, just to name a few examples. So why isn’t SPR being taught to young scientists in college and university, alongside other standard techniques like western blot, ELISA, or HPLC? One big reason is the cost, and the other is the complexity. Luckily, OpenSPR solves these problems, and is a perfect addition to help modernize teaching labs, bringing them into the 21st century and ensuring your students have the skills they need to be competitive and successful.
In this blog post, we will highlight why teaching labs need to adopt SPR and how they can do this effectively and within budget with Nicoya’s OpenSPR.
