Full Suite of Advanced Label-free Readers Addresses the Trend of Increased Label-free Technology Usage Throughout Academia and Industry

WOBURN, Mass.–SRU Biosystems today announced the expansion of its family of bench top BIND® Readers, enabling researchers in academia and government institutions, as well as biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, access to the benefits of SRU’s label-free BIND® technology. SRU’s reader expansion creates the only suite of high quality, label-free detection instruments available on the market that spans the full range of customer throughput and budgetary requirements. SRU Biosystems now offers the BIND® Cartridge Reader for lower throughput applications, and three plate-based BIND® Readers, the SCREENER, PROFILER and EXPLORER, for medium to ultra high throughput applications.

SCREENER: 384/1536-well BIND® Biosensor plate compatibility

PROFILER: 96/384-well BIND® Biosensor plate compatibility

EXPLORER: 96-well BIND® Biosensor plate compatibility

Cartridge Reader: 16-well BIND® Biosensor cartridge compatibility

“Label-free technologies, such as SRU’s BIND® platform, offer researchers a wide range of new scientific applications,” said Rick Wagner, CEO of SRU Biosystems. “Our goal is to make label-free technology accessible across the life sciences and drug discovery markets. We believe the expansion of our line of BIND® Readers does just that.”

SRU Biosystems’ label-free BIND® technology has extraordinary sensitivity and application flexibility. It can be used for complex cellular assays such as GPCR pathway analysis, ion channel assays and cell adhesion assays; as well as biochemical assays, such as protein:protein binding, enzyme assays, and fragment and small molecule screening. These applications have been utilized in exploring assay development, high throughput screening, and lead profiling. SRU anticipates a continued expansion of its label-free BIND products, creating new assay capabilities.

“BIND®’s utility continues to grow as SRU scientists develop new applications and expand our line of Biosensors,” said Mann Shoffner, Director of Sales and Marketing at SRU Biosystems. “SRU is dedicated to advancing label-free technology and meeting customer needs, which is why we have one of the top label-free platforms in the market with unmatched quality, performance and usability.”
