A robust platform for label-free biomolecular assays
SAW Instruments, developer of the innovative sam® family of biosensors for real-time, label-free biomolecular interaction assays, is continuing to advance acoustic wave biosensor technology with the sam®X platform. Based on SAW’s Surface Acoustic Wave technology, the biosensors measure changes in mass and viscoelasticity at the chip surface based on changes in the high frequency acoustic oscillations running across the chip surface. This innovative approach is complementary to other biophysical techniques, such as SPR and QCM for measuring protein interactions, and can also be used for samples and applications that are difficult to analyse by these other methods, thus providing additional information and insights...
New online survey aims to identify the challenges of accurately measuring molecular interactions
SAW Instruments, developer of the innovative sam® family of biosensors for real-time, label-free assays, has commissioned a survey to identify the current challenges affecting researchers at the forefront of molecular binding studies and kinetic analysis...
SAW Instruments LLC has inked a deal with US firm Full Spectrum Genetics (FSG) to place a high-end sam®X biosensor in FSG's San Francisco laboratory. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed. Within the agreement, FSG will have full access to the biosensor for its own internal research programs, and will receive full applications training and support from SAW Instruments.
SAW Instruments Launches samX Biosensor Access Program
May 9, 2012SAW Instruments, developer of the innovative sam® family of biosensors for real-time, label-free assays using viable cells, has launched its new sam®X Biosensor Access Program. Designed to provide access to the sam®X with no capital spend, the program offers a six month lease of the sam®X and includes four free packs of CM short dextran chips for cell work, as well as four free days of application training worth $10,000. With an option to buy after six months, when 100% of the rental money paid is redeemable against the purchase price, the Biosensor Access Program provides the perfect opportunity to see how the sam®X would revolutionize the measurement of biomolecular interactions in your laboratory...

Novel bioaffinity-MS tandem system developed
Nov 17, 2010Researchers at the University of Konstanz, have for the first time successfully developed a novel on-line bioaffinity-electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectrometry approach, which enables the simultaneous label-free detection, identification and quantification of protein-ligand interactions. Combining the sam5TM surface acoustic wave (SAW) biosensor from SAW Instruments directly with ESI-MS has enabled the direct connection of protein-ligand KD analysis with their subsequent quantification and structural characterisation by mass spec.
