Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for production of an improved sensor surface for an SPR instrument, comprising forming a self assembled monolayer (SAM) on a surface and attaching ligands and protein resistant groups, preferably polyethylene glycol (PEG), directly to functional groups on said surface. The invention also relates to a sensor surface produced by these methods use thereof in SPR (surface plasmon resonance) assays or interactions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of qualifying a subgroup of target binding biomolecules from a larger group of target binding biomolecules for analysis. A competitive immunoassay including a target protein is used to identify 100 interactions between different pairs of the target binding biomolecules and interaction profiles are generated 200. Each target binding biomolecule is allocated 300 to a bin representing an epitope family and identified bins are associated in a circular or semi-circular bin chart on a display with identified respective target binding biomolecule(s). Based on the association 400 between identified bins and identified respective target binding molecule(s) in the bin chart, a subgroup of target binding biomolecules is selected 500 for further analysis by selecting one or more of the target binding biomolecule(s) of one or more of the bins.
