ULS is co-organizing a technology seminar with Pall Fortebio and Bio-Gene Technology Ltd. on the principle and applications of Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI).
BLI has emerged as the leading technology for label-free and real-time biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA). Unlike traditional BIA technologies such as SPR and ITC that are time-consuming and low in throughput, BLI’s microfluidics-free, microplate based sample analysis method allows fast and accurate binding affinity and kinetics (KD, ka and kd) measurements in challenging sample matrices such as culture supernatants and lysates. The Dip and Read™ nature of BLI enabled high-throughput biophysical analyses of interactions between a wide range of biomolecules including proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, small molecules and large complexes such as viruses and liposomes. BLI data is frequently published in top scientific journals, appearing in over 2000 papers in the last 10 years. In this presentation, we will discuss about how BLI has accelerated our users’ research in:
• Antibody discovery & development
• Protein structure and function
• DNA-binding proteins
• Infectious diseases
• Small molecule drug discovery
Details of the seminar are as follows:
