The Octet R8 label-free protein analysis system provides fast, high throughput, and accurate characterization of biomolecules and is compatible with longer experimental run times and seamless integration into GxP-compliant labs during biologics development. The 8-channel Octet R8 system performs quantitation and kinetic analysis of up to 96 samples in 30 minutes to 2.5 hours, depending on the specific assay. It can be used for a wide range of analyses including kinetic analysis, titer of IgG and other proteins, reagent qualification, immunoassay development, bioprocess development, quality analysis, crude antibody screening, epitope binning/mapping, ligand binding assays, small molecule analysis, elucidating cell signaling mechanisms, and infectious disease monitoring.
