What is a GlycoWell™ Plate?
| • | GlycoWell™ plates offer you many advantages: |
| • | The GlycoWell™ plates produced by Lundonia Biotech present complex carbohydrates covalently linked to the wells via a robust and chemically well-defined amide linkage. |
| • | Carbohydrates are covalently linked to a microwell plate via a 16 to 18 atom long and flexible spacer, which allows a homogenous presentation of all significant epitopes to a protein, rendering the GlycoWell™ plates particularly suitable for studying carbohydrate-protein interactions in ELISA or related assays. |
| • | The complex carbohydrates covalently linked to GlycoWell™ plates are evenly distributed on a surface corresponding to 100 µL volume in each well. |
| • | Desorption of the carbohydrate into buffers during the course of an assay, thus negatively affecting sensitivity and reproducibility, is completely avoided using GlycoWell™ plates. The stability and reproducibility of the GlycoWell™ plates makes them ideal candidates for use in HTS protocols involving carbohydrate-recognizing proteins. |
| • | Stable and homogenous presentation of biologically active complex carbohydrate. |
| • | GlycoWell™ plates are stable for at least 14 months at 8°C. As a glyco scientist, you may have a collection of GlycoWell™ plates relevant for your research project conveniently stored in you refrigerator. Simply reach for the appropriate GlycoWell™ plate whenever the carbohydrate binding properties of your protein needs to be investigated. |
| • | Expensive and complex glycolipids or glycoproteins never need to be prepared or purchased by you for physical adsorption onto traditional microwell plates. |
