Inanovate launches i-Slide™ protein micro-array substrate

The the i-Slide™ is the worlds premier surface for protein microarray experiments. The i-Slide™ consists of a surface patterned with many thousands of nano-scale structures, each of which ‘anchors’ a protein of choice; see conceptual image below. The nano-scale structures are used as protein anchors, to define the spacing, density and orientation of the proteins; both optimizing and controlling the activity/responsiveness of proteins on a biochip surface.

The the i-Slide™ is ready to use straight from the box, and delivers market leading signal-to-noise, unparalleled sensitivity (down to 0.02 pg/mL), and market leading consistency for protein microarray applications.

The the i-Slide™ is compatible with fluorescent, chemiluminescent or radiographic detection systems and can be used with most microarray scanners and robots. A variety of assays can be performed using the i-Slide™, including sandwich immunoassays, reverse capture immunoassays, protein profiling, and protein characterization. Additional information and protocols on various applications are available upon request.

The i-Slide™ enables more efficient and effective protein screens for pre-clinical R&D applications, and also opens the door to new diagnostic applications by enabling the quantitative detection of low concentration protein biomarkers within patient samples. The i-Slide™ provides the ultimate in protein biochip technology for researchers requiring industry leading sensitivity, consistency and reproducibility. 

Inanovate's nano-particle substrate technology can also be applied to alternate surface/substrate formats (well's, beads, etc...). Please contact us for further details if you would like to explore using Inanovate's surface technology on an alternative format to the 2-D micro-array slide.
