Core News and Monthly Newsletter!

In each EGMIC Newsletter, our Technology Highlight section will introduce an instrument or service available in our core facility. You'll also find updates on what's new in the core and information about upcoming events.

📢Meet the Biacore 1K! (Coming soon)

We are excited to announce the arrival of an upgraded Biacore 1K System, funded by Georgia Research Alliance (GRA).  The Biacore 1K is a next-generation Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) platform designed to deliver high-quality, label-free interaction data with minimal effort.

Primary Applications:

• Kinetics and Affinity Characterization: Measures the association rate , dissociation rate, and equilibrium dissociation constant to determine how fast molecules bind and how stable they are.
• Antibody-Antigen Profiling: Used for identifying specific antigen binding candidates during early-stage therapeutic antibody selection and screening.
• Active Concentration Measurement: Determines the concentration of functional, binding-competent molecules in unpurified samples without needing a standard standard curve.
• Small Molecule Fragment Analysis: Capable of detecting weak binders and small fragments interacting with immobilized target proteins, despite their low mass.
• Structure-Function Assessment: Probes how chemical or structural changes in receptor-ligand and enzyme-substrate pathways impact overall binding strength. 

If your research involves antibody-antigen kinetics, ligand binding, or small molecule interactions, join us for an introductory seminar to learn about the system's capabilities, features, and diverse research applications by Cytiva Field Application Scientist, Dr Eric Roush.
