  • Fall in love with your data again! 💕 Alto makes it easy with zero-maintenance, cartridge-based convenience and precise kinetics and affinity data from ultra-low sample volumes. It’s the perfect lab companion! Happy Valentine’s Day from Nicoya! 💙

  • Developing effective #immunotherapies relies on understanding how Fc gamma receptors (FcγR) bind to #monoclonalantibodies. Screening #drugcandidates for desirable Fc receptor binding profiles is therefore an essential step for optimizing therapeutic performance, improving #clinicaloutcomes and advancing #precisionmedicine. Traditional #labelfree biosensor analysis is hampered by complex assay development and optimization, which often require specialized expertise, large amounts of expensive antigens and long turnaround times. That's where our #Alto platform comes in. As the world’s first #DigitalSPR system, Alto streamlines assay development and optimization to deliver high-quality results, faster. Read our latest application note to learn how Alto™ offers a superior innovation in label-free biosensors for the measurement of binding affinities and kinetics of antibodies to different classes of FcγRs, accelerating #biotherapeutics development.
