Special Sample Plates
Stainless steel, polished
blank
• High throughput.
• Allows customized sample positioning and
preparation using an automated sample
preparation device.
Disposable (gold-coated) • Derivatizing the surface of the sample plate for
protein or enzyme immobilization
1, 2
.
• Long term storage of samples.
• Eliminating cross-contamination.
Biacore
®
Chip • Direct analysis of affinity-isolated species.
• Confirmation of binding constant determined by
surface plasmon resonance
3
.
Membrane, Gels • Use with PVDF or nitrocellulose membranes.
• Use with PAGE gels (for example, PhastGel
™
).
• The base surface of the plate is recessed to
accommodate the depth of the gel.
Teflon surface • Increases sensitivity by using hydrophobic walls
to concentrate the sample into a small area.
