Rapid Affinity and IgG Titer Analytics: Automating Bioanalysis with Gyrolab Nanoliter-Scale Technology

In the development of biotherapeutics, there is a need to quantitate antibody titer and to characterize antibody affinity against the target of interest. Such analyses are often challenged by the need for sensitivity, reproducibility, and higher throughput. Gyrolab systems automate and miniaturize affinity measurements and IgG titer quantification in a single platform using only nanoliter volumes with rapid time to results.

Figure 1: Gyrolab huIgG titer kits provide reliable measurement of human IgG titer over a broad dynamic range and with excellent reproducibility.

IgG Titer Immunoassays with Broader Ranges for Cell Line Development
The immunoassays used to determine IgG titer must have the flexibility to support a broad range of concentrations encountered from expression to production. Gyros recently launched ready-to-use kits to rapidly measure human IgG titer at a higher throughput using only nanoliter volumes for use on Gyrolab systems. The convenience and robustness of kits combined with the automation on Gyrolab systems enable 96 data points to be generated in one hour.

Rapid Affinity Measurements at Nanoliter Scale in Solution
Gyros introduced an affinity software module on its Gyrolab systems for rapid affinity characterization under in-solution equilibrium conditions. Gyrolabs’ affinity flow-through format ensures short contact times enabling K_D values down to low picomolar levels and rapid measurements at higher throughput.
