  • Patent number: 11442010
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the measurement of at least one sample by the interaction with the surface in the field of at least one sensor surface, such as surface plasmon resonance measurement, comprising the steps of: i) sampling the sample and a buffer; ii) transporting the sample and the buffer to at least one flow cell which is in liquid contact with the sensor surface of at least one sensor for measuring a parameter of a sample by interaction of the sample at the sensor surface in the field of the sensor surface; iii) transporting the sample into the flow cell into contact with the sensor surface; iv) handling a separation fluidum by inserting and/or removing the separation fluidum by between the sample and the buffer upstream and/or downstream of the sensor surface; v) measuring the interaction of the sample at the sensor surface; and vi) dispensing the sample from the flow cell, and to a measuring system for such method.

  • Publication number: 20150323525
    Abstract: The invention relates to means and methods for detecting a cell surface molecule in a cell sample. The invention further relates to a method for blood group typing and screening and to SPR sensors and SPR measuring systems suitable for use in such methods. The method includes steps of allowing a liquid cell sample to flow to and along the sensor surface, temporarily reducing the shear rate of the liquid sample to allow cells in the sample to sediment by binding to a binding compound immobilised on a metal film on the sensor surface, and removing unbound cells or non-specifically bound cells or fragments thereof. Moreover, the ratio of the magnitude of the specific total signal response to the signal response during sedimentation is determined.

  • Publication number: 20140350221
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining intrinsic binding parameters, such as KD, kd and ka, of an analyte to a ligand, such as a drug and a protein, a drug and a receptor, and an antibody and antigen, wherein the maximal binding response Rmax or RL and at least one binding parameter is determined at at least two different ligand surface densities present on a sensor support, and extrapolating the value of the binding parameter to ligand density=0, characterized by Rmax=0 or R1=0, to a method of selecting an analyte and/or ligand, and to the selected ligand, analyte and a sensor.
