Bio-Rad Introduces New ProteOn XPR36 Application Guide

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research products and clinical diagnostics, today announced the availability of Bio-Rad’s product application guide (bulletin 5412A), which provides information on a number of applications for Bio‑Rad’s new ProteOn™ XPR36 protein interaction array system.

The ProteOn XPR36 protein interaction array system is a 6x6 multichannel surface plasmon resonance platform that enables automated analysis of up to 36 biomolecular interactions in one experiment. All of the advantages of the ProteOn system: high-throughput, speed, kinetic response, and more are multiplied for research that involves large, broad, and complex studies such as results of hybridoma screening and ranking data that are compared with epitope mapping, specificity analysis, cross-reactivity determination. In addition, multiplex analysis using XPR™ technology enables large amounts of complex data of being generated quickly so the data can be ready for comparison, seamlessly integrated, and easily categorized.

In this six-page application guide, four antibody characterization and development protocols that demonstrate the versatility of the ProteOn XPR36 system are briefly described. The protocols are hybridoma screening and ranking, epitope mapping, kinetic analysis of antibody-antigen specificity, and determination of cross-reactivity of antibodies used in multiplex assays.
