Sidekick Offline Biosensor Immobilization Station

Fortebio announced the introduction of its Sidekick Offline Biosensor Immobilization Station, which enables offline loading of reagents on biosensors, in tandem with any Octet instrument, for enhanced efficiency and assay performance.

The new Sidekick Offline Biosensor Immobilization Station works alongside any Octet instrument and enables offline, simultaneous and uniform sample loading on all 96 biosensors on a biosensor tray. This increases efficiency by freeing up the Octet system for other uses. Additionally, the instrument shakes the samples, while keeping the biosensors immobile, which decreases the required incubation time by half, thereby doubling the biosensor preparation productivity. Further, for sandwich assays, this process significantly increases the assay’s sensitivity.

The Sidekick instrument enables more samples to be run in significantly less time and with greater assay performance. It is ideal for rapid custom biosensor batch preparation and multistep Octet sandwich assays, which are used to detect impurities — such as residual Protein A in therapeutic antibody products.
