| Biacore is a manufacturer of innovative products to detect and monitor biomolecular binding. The company supplies systems to research, development and analytical laboratories within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostic and food industries, academic institutions and government entities. Systems are used in areas such as biochemistry, protein engineering, genomics, proteomics, drug discovery and design and food analysis. BIACORE systems enable direct detection and monitoring of biomolecular binding events in real time without labelling and often without purification of the substances involved. BIACORE systems use detection of biomolecular binding for rapid assessment of method development and purification of biomolecules. In Food Analysis BIACORE systems use detection of biomolecular binding to provide superior accuracy, precision and efficiency compared to conventional techniques, increasing laboratory productivity. Examples of biomolecules detected or monitored using BIACORE systems are proteins, DNA, carbohydrates, pharmaceutical substances, vitamins and antibiotics. Binding events involving large particles such as viruses, bacteria and whole cells are also investigated. Quantification of specific biomolecules in food is made possible by detecting the binding of these biomolecules to a specialized sensor surface. The technique is unaffected by matrix effects. BiacoreQuant for vitamin analysis in fortified food products can replaces microbiological assays with automated sample handling and measurement. BiacoreQuant offers an assay technology which requires minimum sample preparation and delivers results within 12 hours. BIACORE 2000 for drug residue (hormones and antibiotics) analysis in meat and milk products. BIACORE 2000 speeds up these analyses and decreases the number of false positives results. |
