Biacore™ 1 series

Biacore™ 1 series is a one needle, six flow-cell SPR system platform that transforms protein interaction analysis using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) — making it simpler and faster to use without compromising quality.

Biacore™ 1 series comes in three system configurations: Biacore™ 1K, Biacore™ 1K+ and Biacore™ 1S+. The systems offer analytical flexibility that can grow with your group’s need for sample capacity, sensitivity, and throughput.

All systems are built for analysis in a GxP-regulated environment.

Application methods are easily transferred to other labs or to other Biacore™ 1 series systems and the higher throughput systems of the Biacore™ 8 series.

You can use Biacore™ 1 series systems across a wide range of applications, molecules, and both pure and complex samples — from small fragments to large viruses.

Biacore 1K

• No programming skills needed to design, set up or start your assay.
• Fast and flexible exploratory studies using Interactive run. Take full control of the instrument and make decisions based on your results.
• The one needle SPR system with novel injection tool enables multicomplex analysis in one run.
• Upgradable to Biacore™ 1K+ for higher capacity and increased analytical flexibility.
• Affordable cost and reduced running expenses.

Biacore 1K+

• Full flexibility for assay design and increased capacity for interaction analysis, with straightforward transfer of methods between systems.
• Serial injection over all six flow cells reduces analyte consumption by up to 40% for a small antibody screen, compared to a 4 flow-cell SPR system.
• The one needle SPR system tackles complex questions and samples. Queue up multiple methods, use buffer selector and the innovative sample injection tools to get quality data and results.
• Simpler data interpretation: compile, visualize and export data with results in minutes.
• Optimized for use in GxP regulated environment.

Biacore 1S+

• Exceptional sensitivity, full flexibility, and high capacity for interaction analysis of most challenging targets or unstable binders with low response level.
• The one needle SPR system with the highest sensitivity and data collection frequency allows you to better distinguish tight binders.
• Broad analysis temperature range for expanded characterization and stability studies.
• Increase operational efficiency, line up methods, utilize the sample capacity for unattended runtime of 72 h.
• Optimized injection design reduces sample consumption by 13% compared to a typical kinetic experiment.
