Save Up To 40% with our 4-Channel SPR — the affordable choice
Spend less money on equipment and maintenance — and more on your research — when you choose one of our 4SPR systems. In fact, the typical research lab can save $25,000 per year. That’s $125,000 over the next five years — valuable funds that you can use for your staff and other critical research needs.
Lower equipment costs
Less initial capital expense means more money for you to address other laboratory needs.
Lower operating costs
Every SPR machine requires a sensor chip to attach 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 4SPR 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 Reichert4SPR 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 approximately 100Da) compounds; enhanced sensitivity also makes the 4SPR System ideal for:
- 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 Reichert4SPR 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 4SPR, 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 4SPR 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 systems, 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 you to replace a flow cell 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.
A wide 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 dextran
- 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)
Four channels for greater efficiency and throughput
The Reichert4SPR System is a four-channel system, which means you can run up to three experiments at one time. Speed up your method development by testing different immobilization chemistries or regeneration schemes on each channel.
With four channels, you have the flexibility to run:
- 3 experimental channels with one reference channel (for testing of an analyte binding to multiple targets, for example)
- 2 experimental channels with separate references
- 4 channels or 2 pairs at once
- 2 pairs at different times
We also sell a two-channel and a three-channel system for labs that don’t require the throughput of a 4-channel instrument.
