Aptamer Validation

At NeoVentures Biotechnology Inc., we combine deep expertise in aptamer science with advanced biophysical instrumentation to provide precise, quantitative validation of aptamer–target interactions.

Using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) and Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRi), we measure affinity, kinetics, and thermodynamics, giving you a complete picture of how your aptamer performs under real-world conditions.

Our comprehensive approach ensures that your aptamer validation is scientifically rigorous, reproducible, and ready for both research and commercial applications.

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC)

Label-free, solution-based thermodynamic profiling

ITC directly measures the heat released or absorbed during aptamer–target binding, providing a full thermodynamic signature of the interaction. This technique delivers unmatched accuracy without the need for labeling or immobilization.

 

Key Advantages:

  • Quantitative determination of binding constants (Kd)
  • Full thermodynamic characterization (ΔH, ΔS, n)
  • No labeling or immobilization required
  • Suitable for proteins, peptides, and small molecules

Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRi)

Real-time kinetic and affinity analysis

SPRi enables label-free, real-time monitoring of aptamer–target interactions on a sensor surface. It provides detailed kinetic data, association (kon) and dissociation (koff) rates, as well as equilibrium affinity values.

 

Key Advantages:

  • Real-time monitoring of binding events
  • Determination of kinetic parameters (kon, koff)
  • Multiplexed analysis for high-throughput screening
  • Minimal sample consumption

Comprehensive Kinetic and Thermodynamic Validation

For the most complete understanding of your aptamer-target interaction, a combination of SPRi and ITC provides both kinetic and thermodynamic data, enabling robust validation across multiple parameters.

You will receive:

  • –  Full kinetic and thermodynamic characterization (kon, koff, Kd, ΔH, ΔS, n)
  • –  Cross-validation of affinity measurements between methods
  • –  Comparative insights into binding behavior in both immobilized and solution-based systems
  • –  High-confidence confirmation of aptamer functionality and performance
  • –  Detailed technical report with data interpretation and recommendations

 

Best for: Final validation of aptamers intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or biosensor applications where performance confidence is essential.
