LEARN MOREWe empower scientists with accessible SPR instrumentation
Alto
Alto is the world’s first SPR instrument to integrate digital microfluidics (DMF), artificial intelligence (AI), and nanotechnology. Unlike traditional SPR instruments, Alto is user-friendly, high throughput, low maintenance, and requires exceptionally low sample volume to perform binding kinetics and affinity analyses.
OpenSPR
OpenSPR™ provides high quality, label-free interaction analysis for a fraction of the cost of existing solutions. This user friendly, highly affordable and low maintenance product uses our proprietary LSPR sensors to deliver repeatable, highly sensitive binding kinetics and binding affinity data.
OpenSPR-XT
OpenSPR-XT™ is a modified version of OpenSPR™ that is capable of automated and high throughput 24X7 operation. This product is built on our cutting-edge and affordable nanotechnology biosensor platform. Just like OpenSPR™, this product is also user friendly, highly affordable and requires low maintenance.
“OpenSPR offers the perfect combination of performance and affordability, which will accelerate our research while saving our lab money.”
-Thorsten Dieckmann, Associate Professor & Associate Chair of Chemistry, Univertsity of Waterloo
