Octet^® AS Offline Biosensor Immobilization Station

Octet^® AS enables simultaneous and uniform reagent loading onto all 96 biosensors in a biosensor tray. Target analytes, ligands and other reagents that do not require online signal monitoring can be loaded onto biosensors using the Octet^® AS, freeing the Octet^® instrument for other users or critical on-line assay steps. This accessory can be installed beside an Octet^® system and used in-tandem, or independently.

• Offline loading of reagents on biosensors
• Simultaneous loading on up to 96 biosensors
• Automation compatible
• Small and portable
• Ideal for creating large batches of custom biosensors
• Reduces incubation times

When preparing custom biosensors, incubating with sample shaking and temperature control in Octet^® AS improves sample loading efficiency and reproducibility and reduces loading times. Biosensor loading efficiencies can further be improved by using the Octet^® AS station in conjunction with a liquid-handling robotic workstation to automate custom biosensor preparation or off-line Octet^® assay steps. The Octet^® AS station also enables robust, multi-step Octet^® immunoassays in lower throughput instruments by allowing intermediate assay steps to be performed off-line and returning to the Octet^® for the final analysis steps decreasing overall incubation times.
