Save up to 35% with our 3-channel SPR — the affordable choice
Spend less money on equipment and maintenance — and more on your research — when you choose Reichert’s 3SPR. In fact, the typical research lab can save $20,000 per year, per system, compared to the equivalent performing systems. That’s $100,000 over the next five years — valuable funds that you can use for your staff and other critical research needs.
Lower equipment costs
Purchasing a 3SPR System costs 20% less than lower throughput systems offered by the leading competitor.
Lower operating costs
Every SPR machine requires chips to couple proteins to. A typical lab can use 75–200 sensor chips each year, which is why you should always ask about the cost of chips when you’re considering an SPR system. XanTec bioanalytics offers the biggest choice of high-quality sensor chips plus reagents which cost significantly less than our competitors, so you can run more experiments without worrying about out-of-control costs.
No costly service contract required
Other SPR companies make you purchase a service contract, which can easily cost up to $150,000 over the course of five years. With our 3SPR System, all of the typical parts that need maintenance are easy for you to access (and service) yourself. In fact, the amount you’ll save on maintenance over five years is nearly the amount you would spend on acquiring a brand-new instrument. Of course, we do offer service contracts, if you would rather let us handle the regular maintenance.
Open system = high-quality data, more flexibility
Get high-quality, publication-ready data
The Reichert 3SPR System offers significant advantages for researchers and scientists. Whether you’re working with simple solutions or more challenging assays, you can count on our systems to offer:
- High sensitivity — study protein interactions with low molecular weight (down to < 100Da) compounds; enhanced sensitivity also makes the Reichert 3SPR System ideal for:
- High quality kinetic analysis
- Affinity measurements for weak or strong interactions (ranging from 1mM to 1pM)
- Precise determination of thermodynamic parameters
- Accurate concentration analysis
- Industry-leading low drift (0.1 μRIU/min)
- Extremely low noise (0.05 μRIU rms)
- Faster baseline stability — the Reichert 3SPR System stabilizes 2x-3x faster than the competition, due to our streamlined fluidics
- High sample capacity (up to 768 samples per run)
Open system = more control, more flexibility, more time for research
Other SPR systems only allow for limited access to critical parts. But with the 3SPR, everything you need to access is right out in the open, which makes your life — and your research — much easier.
Easy to change as your research evolves
The Reichert 3SPR System is designed to be as flexible as possible, from changeable tubes to an easily accessible flow cell. Wherever your research takes you in the future, you can be rest assured that Reichert will let you stay on track, without costly upgrades and changes.
5-minute tubing changes
With our SPR systems, you can change the tubing whenever you want in just minutes — without having to wait around for a service call. That’s because all Reichert SPR systems are designed to use low-cost, off-the-shelf HPLC fittings and tubing that are easily accessible to you and your staff. With these systms, you can:
- Change the tubing to different sizes
- Accommodate a wide range of sample compositions (from pure soluble solutions to cell lysates), varying viscosities, and particulate matter
- Run crude samples without having to purify them — saving you time and providing even greater flexibility — without risking costly delays and service calls; crude samples include:
- Whole cells
- Viruses
- Lysates
- Serum
- Aggregates
- Stop worrying about clogs — if a tube is damaged, blocked or clogged, you can replace it yourself in just a few minutes, using standard tubing
Easy-to-clean flow cells
While some competitors require you to replace a flowcell cartridge once or twice a year, our flow cells are easy to clean (and, if necessary, change) yourself and are not a consumable. We offer standard flow cells, as well as specialized flow cells that can be used simultaneously with other valuable analytical techniques, opening up new opportunities for investigation in SPR experiments.
Widest variety of standard and specialized chips
Our sensor chips perform equivalently or better to the leading competitor’s chips, at a significantly lower cost. Additionally to the standard chips, XanTec offers several unique functionalities, found nowhere else on the market. These include:
- Carboxymethyl dextra
- Linear polycarboxylate with extremely low background
- Zwitterionic hydrogels
- Standard and high-affinity Nickel nitrilotriacetic acid
- Azide and DBCO derivatives for click chemistry
- Streptavidin / NeutrAvidin
- Protein A / Protein A/G
- Strep-Tactin XT
- Spycatcher
- Plain gold (if you want to add your own chemistry)
Three channels for faster method development and throughput
The Reichert 3SPR System is a three-channel instrument, which means you can run up to two experiments at one time. Speed up your method development by testing different immobilization chemistries or regeneration schemes on each channel.
With three channels, you have the flexibility to run:
- 2 different experimental channels with one reference channel (for testing of an analyte binding to multiple targets, for example)
- 1 experimental channel with 2 different references
- 2 pairs at different times with same reference
We also offer a two-channel system for labs that need an even more affordable option or don’t require the throughput of a 3-channel instrument along with a four-channel system for even greater throughput needs.
