The Molecular Surface Interaction Lab is in Building E26, Level 2, Room 2002 within BMSF. Please contact msi@unsw.edu.au for instrument enquiry.
BiaCore T200 uses an optical technique, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), to measure label-free detection of small molecule/protein/peptide/antibody interactions. The system has four channels and is capable of auto-sampling and allowing multiplexing of experiments for high throughput. This instrument provides:
QSense Analyzer (Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring) uses acoustic and gravimetric techniques that allow label-free, real-time measurement of interactions between surface immobilised materials, molecules or cells with ng/cm2 resolution. The QSense Analyzer system has four channels allowing multiplexing of experiments for high throughput. This device provides:
BLItz interferometry-based biosensor enables label-free real-time analysis of protein interactions in a minimum sample volume of 4 μL. This is a single channel, manually operated instrument and ideally suited to simple and low volume experiments. This instrument is particularly suited for:
Monolith NT.115 uses microscale thermophoresis (MST), which is a biophysical technique that exploits the motion change of molecules in a microscopic temperature gradient during binding events. Monolith NT.115 measures the strength of the interaction between two molecules by detecting variations in the fluorescence signal. This instrument is particularly suited for:
