TechTalk: Hitting your toughest targets with Optimer® binders
Friday, September 25 at 15:30 BST | 16:30 CEST | 10:30 EDT | 07:30 PDT
Antibodies remain the default affinity reagent for many workflows, but some targets (including small molecules, membrane proteins, and multi-subunit complexes) can be difficult to generate effective binders against. Lot-to-lot variability, lengthy development timelines, and limited control over binding and elution conditions can create additional challenges.
In this SelectScience® TechTalk, discover how Optimer® binders provide an alternative to antibodies, engineered from the outset around the target, application, and assay environment. Learn how Optimers are being used to address targets that have historically proved challenging for antibodies, while the same discovery platform delivers application-ready reagents for ELISA, IHC, flow cytometry, biosensing, affinity purification, and IP-MS workflows.
Explore how tuneable affinity, reversible and gentle elution, chemical stability, and consistent lot-to-lot performance can help researchers overcome common reagent limitations and build more robust, reproducible assays.
