About Us

What We Do

Today’s biochemical protocols are constrained by complexity and limitations in flexibility and throughput. Conventional biochemical assays are often:

  • Time-intensive and low-throughput
  • Incompatible with automation systems
  • Cost-prohibitive to scale
  • Furthermore, high-throughput technologies are often:

  • Limited to specific analytes
  • Limited to single readouts
  • Incompatible with complex mixtures
  • Our innovations address these limitations, enabling scientists to quantify 10-100s of target engagements in real-time and perform orthogonal analyses all within a sustainable, cost-effective format.

    Our Phosphocellulose Paper

    For 'gold standard' kinase assays

    Our phosphocellulose cation exchange paper and filter microplates can be used to perform radiometric kinase assays. Unlike alternative methods, radiometric kinase assays remain the ‘gold standard’ due to their:

    • Universal efficacy for peptide and protein substrates
    • Direct readout
    • High sensitivity
    • Reproducibility
    • Reliability
    • Very low background signals
