Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) / Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM-D)

Real-time binding kinetics between nanocarriers and biomolecules.

Purpose

To study real-time binding kinetics between nanocarriers and biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, serum proteins, receptors).

Standard protocol

Protocol: SPR for binding analysis

  1. 1

    Immobilise the ligand (e.g., DNA) on the sensor chip.

  2. 2

    Inject the carrier solution (e.g., cationic polymer) at various concentrations.

  3. 3

    Monitor the response in real time.

  4. 4

    Analyse

    • Association rate (ka).
    • Dissociation rate (kd).
    • Affinity (KD = kd/ka).

Let's engineer the next delivery breakthrough together

We co-develop nanocarrier and biosensing programs with pharma, biotech and academic groups — from target selection through GMP supply.
