High Sensitivity Carboxyl Sensors

OpenSPR High Sensitivity Sensors are made with a specialized nanogold surface to provide an extra boost of localized sensitivity close to the sensor surface. The increased localized sensitivity is particularly advantageous for small molecule analysis, and can also be used to enhance the signals of other larger biomolecules that interact close to the surface.

High Sensitivity Carboxyl Sensors are used to covalently immobilize biomolecules containing free primary amine groups (proteins, antibodies, aptamers and more) onto the sensor surface for analysis in OpenSPR instruments. Sensors are provided in a package of 8 or 3.

It is recommended to use with Nicoya's Carboxyl Optimization Kit or Carboxyl Reagent Kit, both of which provide the coupling reagents (ie EDC/NHS, etc.) required for surface preparation and sample immobilization.

Note: High Sensitivity Sensors are only compatible with the 2-Channel OpenSPR.
