Biacore
The Biacore 3000 is an opitical biosensor which monitors real-time interaction of macromolecules via measuring their surface plasmon resonance. There are many potential applications which include affinity and binding kinetics, epitope mapping and concentration determination. This piece of equipment is at present being used to measure interactions between various peptides and receptors.
We have a number of manuals, protocols and training CD roms for potential users. We also offer training and advice on use, experimental design and data analysis.
If you require further information or training to become an authorised user please contact John Raynes or Rachel Gregory.
Biacore consumables and more information can be found at the Biacore website.
