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)
