OpenPlex - Flexible Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging System

Overview

Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging made easy

Designed to meet the demands of biologists, biochemists and biophysicists, the OpenPlex is a flexible surface plasmon resonance imaging system.
OpenPlex is your companion for the development of label-free and multiplexed bio-assays and molecule detection. It is a robust and compact system designed for simple use and high versatility. Its open format, dedicated sensor chips and manual operation enable numerous types of experiments to be explored without compromise, covering chemistry, biochemistry, physico-chemistry and biomolecular interactions.

Open your research areas with OpenPlex! Choose between three different flow cell configurations without concession:

  • Normal flow cell for standard surface plasmon resonance imaging experiments
  • Window flow cell, compatible with fluorescence measurements
  • Cuvette cell, compatible with electrochemistry measurements

SPRi Continuous Flow Microspotter™(SPRi-CFM )

The SPRi-CFM is an automatic printer that uses flow deposition for printing biomolecules. Samples are cycled over the surface and captured from solution, leading to higher biomolecule density, better spot uniformity and improved assay sensitivity.

SPRi-Arrayer

SPRi-Arrayer is an automatic, compact and portable apparatus. It prints DNA, oligonucleotides, proteins, bacterial clones and other materials with low cross contamination.

Student Kit

The ready-to-use student kit for practical works includes:

  • OpenPlex with external fluidic kit
  • Kinetic kit (ready-to-use solutions and SPRi-Biochips)
  • Teaching aid (tutorials)
