ForteBio's Octet® and Pioneer family of instruments provides real-time measurements in the analysis of therapeutic biological molecules at different stages of development. The applications include but are not limited to protein:protein, protein:nucleic acids, protein:small molecules interactions and the analysis of large molecules such as virus-like particles. With unparalleled ease of use, the Octet and Pioneer family of instruments moves your workflow beyond the limitations of existing label-free methods. You get comprehensive characterization across a broad range of applications that are critical for efficient development and production.

In order to meet your high throughput demands for drug discovery, the Octet platform has eliminated the need for microfluidics and designed a simple Dip and Read method that allows simultaneous monitoring of large numbers of interactions in an automated manner. With the Octet systems, you can survey a number of different interactions rapidly, obtain accurate kinetic and affinity information and determine concentrations of your protein of interest in complex sample matrices. Ranging from the two-channel Octet K2 instrument to the un-paralleled 96-channel Octet HTX instruments, the Octet platform addresses a broad range of applications in various stages of the drug discovery and development process. With a wide range of ligand capture surfaces that allow for the immobilization of antibodies, recombinant proteins, DNA, RNA and virus like particles (VLPs), the Octet platform has become a "must" have laboratory tool for a broad range of biomolecular interactions studies.
The Pioneer platform is a high sensitivity system that incorporates dynamic injection SPR (diSPR®) for improved biophysical characterization of small molecule:protein interactions. Fragment screening campaigns are streamlined with the diSPR method, OneStep®, which determines fragment affinity from the primary screen, saving weeks of instrument and analyst time. The Pioneer system gives more information about small molecule interactions in shorter time, making it a game-changing tool in the drug discovery lab.
