Rapid kinetic characterization for inhibition assays
Binding kinetics provide the full picture in biologics development
Sybody® candidates compete for ACE2 binding onto SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD
With no-clog microfluidics and superior sensitivity to conventional Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technologies for more accurate measurement of binding affinity and binding kinetics, here we show how the WAVEsystem is driving biologics development by providing insights into binding affinities and selectivity of Sybody® candidates to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) region of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein
-
Sybody® characterization
Identify Sybody® candidates binding to RBD domain of SARS-CoV-2 via off-rate screening
-
Fast inhibition studies
Discover how Sybody® candidates inhibit the ACE2-Spike RBD interaction
-
ELISA validation
Cross validate ELISA data
High sensitivity and robust microfluidics
With high sensitivity and robust microfluidics, the WAVEsystem is suitable for competition assays, confirming and enriching ELISA data. By providing a rapid kinetic characterization for inhibition assays, with ACE2 kindly provided by leadXpro, the WAVE is accelerating the development of therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2.

Experimental details
TechNote 14
In this TechNote we show how the WAVEsystem can be used to understand the binding dynamics of Sybody® candidates to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2, both provided by Linkster Therapeutics AG and the University of Zürich.
