Biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA)
For assay optimizations we use a Biocore X100 instrument that can measure binding characteristics of ligands (e.g. antibodies and aptamers) and analytes. Binding characteristics include determination of affinity, binding kinetics and concentration of the ligand or analyte.

Lateral Flow Assays
The LFA is a commonly used paper-based point-of-care test method for rapid detection of analytes in biological samples such as blood or saliva. The LFA is a simple, cheap and practical detection method that does not require laboratory facilities. The results are displayed within 5-30 minutes.
