How synthetic binders are transforming diagnostics and molecular biology

Thursday, May 7 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT

Traditional antibodies often fall short when precision and reliability matter most. In this SelectScience^® webinar, held in partnership with Aptamer Group, we will showcase how synthetic binders are delivering breakthrough results where antibodies have failed.

Hear directly from Alphazyme on how Optimer^® technology revolutionized their hot-start PCR applications, replacing two antibodies with a single, more effective solution. Discover how Neuro-Bio achieved unprecedented sensitivity in developing a groundbreaking Alzheimer's test targeting a new biomarker, after struggling with traditional antibody approaches.

Register now to join leading scientists as they share real data, practical insights, and lessons learned from moving beyond antibodies. Whether you're developing diagnostics, optimizing molecular biology workflows, or seeking more reliable research tools, this session will demonstrate proven alternatives that are transforming detection and diagnostics.

Key learning objectives:

• Discover proven alternatives for challenging targets
• See real-world case studies where Optimer^® technology succeeded in hot-start PCR optimisation and sensitive biomarker detection after antibodies fell short
• Understand the technical advantages (batch consistency, stability, specificity) and assess whether this technology could solve your current reagent challenges
• Evaluate when alternative binding technologies might address similar challenges in your own research or diagnostic development projects
• Learn how new biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease are opening potential for early detection, plus insights into developing sensitive assays for novel diagnostic targets
• See how tailored enzyme control mechanisms are helping scientists achieve better specificity and reliability in hot-start PCR and NGS workflows
