New Products
ForteBio announced this week the introduction of its first product the Octet System for label-free, real-time detection and analysis of molecular interactions.
The Octet System is based on a proprietary technique called BioLayer Interferometry. It incorporates a sensitive optical detector and a series of application-specific biosensor consumables. According to ForteBio, the biosensors provide a way to make critical measurements even in crude samples, at early stages in antibody development.
