Abstract

We present an electrokinetic label-free biomolecular screening chip (Glass/PDMS) to screen up to 10 samples simultaneously using surface plasmon resonance imaging (iSPR). This approach reduces the duration of an experiment when compared to conventional experimental methods. This new device offers a high degree of parallelization not only for analyte samples, but also for multiplex analyte interactions where up to 90 ligands are immobilized on the sensing surface. The proof of concept has been demonstrated with well-known biomolecular interactant pairs. The new chip can be used for high throughput screening applications and kinetics parameter extraction, simultaneously, of interactant-protein complex formation.
