Biochemistry

Biochemistry studies the chemical processes taking place within living organisms at the molecular level. Explore how BMG LABTECH readers can advance biochemical research.

Biochemistry studies the complexity of life

The complexity of life is based on chemical processes within organisms. Methods that answer biochemical questions are as varied as the chemical processes in living organisms. They cover simple protein quantification assays such as Bradford or Lowry assay to adjust protein extracts for further analysis, as well as enzyme activity assays helping to find inhibitory and accelerating conditions. These assays benefit from BMG LABTECH´s kinetic read options, an Enhanced Dynamic Range for high intensity variations in a measurement and a suite of enzyme kinetic analysis options.

An achievement of the past 20 years has been the multitude of protein interaction assays that can be carried out in 96 to 1536 well plates. They replace lengthy or radioactive procedures and facilitate the screening for potential active substances.

BMG LABTECH microplate readers measure all these assays. They not only provide highest sensitivity and throughput, if necessary, they further assist in developing your own assays and adapting existing methods to your specific target.

Protein aggregation

Aggregation of misfolded proteins leads to diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or prion disease. We have the dedicated reader for aggregation assays.

Protein quantification

Plenty of sample volume or just a few microliters, high or low protein concentrations, total protein or a specific protein quantification, our plate readers measure it all.

Protein interactions

BMG LABTECH readers detect protein bindingss to another protein, a peptide, or nucleotide. FRET, BRET, and fluorescence polarization are perfectly suited for interaction studies.

Enzyme activity

Which conditions do inhibit or increase enzyme acitivity? Our readers acquire data generated by colorimetric, fluorescent and luminescent kinetic assays and analyse them.
