Kinetic Binding Studies using OptiSlides

In the field of proteomics, one has to deal with a class of molecules with diverging and in several aspects still unpredictable properties. It is quite undesirable to have to modify proteins with labels before being able to characterize them. Obviously, under such circumstances label-free detection methods are strongly favoured.Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy is the most common label-free technique. However, a gold layer is needed on the solid support which has to be produced under highest standards. Current applications are in most cases restricted to a few regions of interest. Protein arrays on standard glass slides cannot be read out or even be characterized kinetically.
