Alpha Technology

With Alpha Technology your research will shine

Alpha Technology is a bead-based proximity assay. When a biological reaction brings Alpha Donor and Acceptor beads into close proximity, conditions are set to allow a cascade of chemical reactions to begin. The end result is a greatly amplified signal that contributes to detection sensitivity down to the attomole level.

Bring alpha beads together to measure virtually anything

Alpha assays are unique because they enable very large molecular interactions to be measured. In fact, virtually anything can be measured once the beads are brought together. The versatility of Alpha Technology offers the possibility to assay many biological targets, including enzymes, receptor-ligand interactions, low-affinity interactions, second messenger levels, DNA, RNA, proteins, protein:protein interactions, peptides, sugars and small molecules. No matter what you are studying, Alpha Technology brings your research together.

Below are examples of the broad range of assays that have been developed using Alpha Technology.
