About the BIND(TM) System
BIND(TM) from SRU Biosystems enables label-free detection of biomolecular interactions. The currently commercially available system is comprised of the BIND Reader(TM) and 96- or 384-well microplate biosensors. The BIND(TM) system takes advantage of a novel optical effect to provide very sensitive measurement of binding on the biosensor surface. The biosensor incorporates a proprietary nanostructured optical grating, which is incorporated in microwell plates in industry standard formats. The BIND(TM) system can deliver higher quality assay data as well as improved throughput and associated cost savings.
