Octet BSL2
The Octet Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) system is a crucial tool in biopharmaceutical, immunological, and virological research, particularly in BSL-2 laboratory environments, where it enables real-time, label-free analysis of biomolecular interactions. Utilizing optical biosensor technology, it allows for quantification of protein-protein, protein-antibody, and protein-small molecule interactions, making it invaluable for vaccine development, antibody characterization, and viral protein analysis. In infectious disease research, the Octet system is used to study pathogen-host interactions, neutralizing antibody binding, and receptor-ligand affinities, ensuring safe and efficient workflows in BSL-2 containment. The Octet system is also widely used in drug discovery and bioprocess development, providing kinetic analysis, affinity measurements, and concentration quantification of therapeutic proteins and antibodies. In BSL-2 environments, it supports biologics production quality control, enabling rapid screening of monoclonal antibodies, viral antigens, and recombinant proteins. With high-throughput capability, minimal sample preparation, and compatibility with biosafety protocols, the Octet BLI system is an indispensable tool for accelerating research while maintaining safe and contamination-free laboratory conditions.
