You can use any cell type of your choice for RT-IC measurements. We provide heliXcyto chips with different trap sizes suitable for cells from about 6 to 25 µm diameter. There is no precise size limit for eukaryotic cells, since this is also highly dependent on the...
The integrated CCD camera of the heliXcyto takes a snapshot of the sensor spot after the trapping, thus you can visually control the successful immobilization of cells.
The heliXcyto takes care of this for you. The only step you have to do manually is to harvest your cells, wash and count them, and place them in the autosampler of the heliXcyto. The cells are then taken up automatically and will get trapped in cell traps on the...
Yes, you can differentiate affinity and avidity and even quantify the contribution of different binding modes, for example binary and ternary binding modes of antibodies.
No, RT-IC measurements can only be performed with a heliXcyto biosensor. The heliX+ is optimized for the measurement of stably immobilized molecules on the biochip. The heliXcyto has to fulfil the requirements to measure living cells and therefore, specific...
