Octet® R2 BLI System
High performance BLI for label-free kinetics without compromise.
The Octet® R2 System makes quality protein analysis affordable and flexible. Priced for startup academic and biotech labs, low-volume users are no longer bound by the trade-off between cost and performance when choosing a label-free assay system. The system provides a low-cost entry point for labs with lower throughput needs, while providing the flexibility to field-upgrade to 4 or 8 channels anytime the need arises.
The Octet® R2 system characterizes protein-protein and protein-small molecule binding interactions in academic research as well as drug discovery and drug development processes.
The multi-purpose Octet® R2 system’s unique 2-channel design has dedicated spectrometers for simultaneous referencing or added capacity. It also provides streamlined quantitative information by measuring active protein concentrations - even in complex mixtures like cell culture supernatants and lysates without time-consuming purifications. The system is perfectly suited for academic and start-up biotech labs as well as users with moderate throughput.
Key benefits:
- Get the whole range – Sensitivity for small molecule analysis down to 150 Da
- Highest data quality – Unique 2-channel design with dedicated spectrometers for simultaneous referencing or added capacity
- Easy handling without dedicated operator – Simple software setup with template-driven interface to get new users started quickly

Analysis of FcRn-antibody interactions on the Octet Platform
The Fc region of human IgG contributes to a number of beneficial biological and pharmacological characteristics of therapeutic antibodies. One of the most important is prolonging plasma halflife, due to its unique, pH-dependent interaction with the neonatal Fc-receptor (FcRn). Because altered FcRn binding can increase or decrease serum half-life of Fc-containing therapeutics, thereby impacting drug efficacy, FcRn binding interactions are increasingly being assessed at multiple stages of biologic drug development. In this application note, assay design and best practices for FcRn-IgG kinetic analysis on the Octet system will be discussed, as well as considerations for assay optimization, data acquisition, curve fitting, and analysis of results.
