Introduction

[Book covers]
[BuyAtLulu]

The aim of this book is to introduce biomolecular interaction analysis in relation to surface plasmon resonance. The theory and the practical approach of preparing samples and sensor chips, performing the experiment and analyzing the results are discussed. The main emphasis will be on avoiding pitfalls and designing proper experiments to obtain reliable results. Although written with the Biacore in mind, the general principles and guidelines will be applicable to comparable SPR instruments.

There are two version of the book available:

  • a hardcover which costs about 65.00 euro
  • a spiral band which is about 56.00 euro. This book is great for in the lab. Because of the spiral band it folds nicely open.

The book contains more additional information and figures compared to the SPR-Pages. In addition, the book can serve as a reference next to your SPR machine.
