Biacore™ 1S+ SPR system

CYTIVA

Biacore™ 1 series systems is a one-needle platform with six flow cells that transforms protein interaction analysis using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) — making it simpler and faster to use without compromising quality. Now you can focus on generating the consistent and reproducible data needed in your research. 

Our Biacore 1 series SPR systems come in three configurations: Biacore 1K, Biacore 1K+ and Biacore 1S+. The systems offer analytical flexibility that can grow with your group’s need for sample capacity, sensitivity, and throughput. 

All systems are built for analysis in a GxP-regulated environment. The single software platform for Biacore 1 series systems speeds up time to results and reduces training needs. Application methods are easily transferred to other labs or to other Biacore 1 series systems and the higher throughput Biacore 8 series systems. 

You can use Biacore 1 series systems across a wide range of applications, molecules, and both pure and complex samples — from small fragments to large viruses. The systems are scalable so your research will not be limited as your needs evolve.
