The Surface Plasmon Resonance facility at the Molecular Sciences Research Hub operates a Cytiva Biacore S200 that is available for booking for trained users to determine affinity and kinetics.
The Biacore S200 has a very sensitive SPR sensor which enables work with difficult to procure targets, such as low volume samples.
The Biacore S200 can also inject samples from 96 or 384 well plates facilitating fragment drug discovery.
