Adapter chip Design.
2 spots with 2 different anchor sequences for DNA-encoded addressing.
The heliX® adapter biochip features 2 spots (4 signals)
Spot 1: measurement spot in red and green
Spot 2: reference / measurement spot in red and green
Anchor Strands, fixed
The heliX® chip surface is modified with covalently attached single stranded DNA Anchor strands, which have been optimized to bind Adapter strands and Ligand strands with ultimate specificity and stability.
Ligand strand, exchangeable
Your molecule of interest (the ligand) is immobilized onto the surface by the DNA nanolever, either by direct covalent coupling or by tag-capturing methods. Coupling of proteins or small molecules to Ligand strands is readily performed using easy-to-use coupling kits.
Adapter strand, exchangeable
Adapter strands give you maximal experimental flexibility: use a standard adapter for most binding and conformation applications, or pick a long DNA-origami nanostructure to size the largest molecular complexes. Dyes are exchangeable, too.
Sensor Functionalization.
heliX® chip and sensor functionalization must be so routine that your mind is free to focus on your samples.
Automated sensor exchange
Load up to 5 chips in one rack and switch automatically between 5 channels and 10 sensor spots.
RFID near field communication
between instrument and chip for seamless traceability of chip status and usage history.
Ideal for quality-controlled GxP environments and consistent, error-free results.

Robust microfluidics
Simplistic single-channel design, made from durable glass, withstanding highest flow rates and corrosive chemicals, disposable.
2 detection spots x 2 colors
For real-time referenced measurements of 2 interactions, or monitoring of up to 4 interactions simultaneously.
Sensor functionalization through standard,
automated workflows.
Sensor functionalization must be so routine that your mind is free to focus on your samples.

Ligand immobilization
Ligand coupling is carried out in-vitro for superior purity.
Low sample consumption
5 pmol in 20 µL adapter-ligand conjugate per immobilization.
Fast
Wash off analyte/ligand within 1 second.
Immobilize fresh ligand within 1 to 5 minutes.
Fresh ligand, every time
For reproducible results, every time. DNA-mediated functionalization eliminates the need to scout for regeneration conditions.
Why not have a coffee instead?
Repeated chip regeneration
Confidence in chip quality over more than 50 cycles*.
Economics
Less than $2 per datapoint for chip and reagent costs*.
* Numbers reflect typical workflows and can vary depending on experimental conditions.
Molecular lego, basically.
Working with Adapter strands.
Reporter fluorophore
Our standard red and green fluorophores work for almost any application, reporting slightest changes in its molecular environment with high sensitivity. But experimental creativity cannot be predicted, so pick your optimal probe from a wide range of chemically diverse dyes. Rhodamines, cyanines, oxazines, acrinidines and others are available on stock and custom synthesis is supported, too… your choice. heliOS software supports pre-configured screening workflows to identify your preference in green and red with little effort.
Easy to adapt
Kits with ready-to-use solutions and pre-configured heliOS software workflows.
Standard adapter
A single-stranded sequence, modified with a reporter dye in green or red. The upper bases bind the ligand strand. Sequence information is openly available, in case you’d like to custom-make your ligand strands instead of using a DBS coupling kit.
DNA nanostructures: Think big or small. Flexible or rigid. Mono or bi-specific.
Standard heliX® chips can be combined with DNA nanostructures such as flexible, antibody-like Y-structures presenting two ligands. Or rigid DNA-origami nanolevers to actuate and size large molecular complexes.
Ligand strands are compatible with standard adapters as well as with DNA nanostructures. Couple ligands just once and run assays with different adapters without additional effort.

MIX and RUN!
Ligand density control made easy on a heliX® chip.
Adjusting different ligand densities on a heliX® Adapter Chip is easier than preparing a decent Vodka Martini:
- Mix ligand and adapter strands at the desired ratio.
- Shake or stir, it doesn’t really matter. Place vial in autosampler.
