Jun 20, 2011 10:32 EDT Two experiments with two distinct purposes were performed on the Attana Cell 200. The first experiment intended to find a diagnostic tool to test tumors after surgery to see if they are metastatic. The second experiment tested a herceptin conjugate designed for targeted immunotherapy. Both results showed that the Attana Cell 200 may help lowering clinical stage failure rates.

May 24, 2011 09:00 EDT Attana Cell 200- Bridging the gap between traditional biosensors and cell based assays! Drug development is costly and risky, the need for technologies that accelerate the process of drug discovery becomes more urgent. This paper shows four instances of how the Attana Cell 200 biosensor provides data that enhances the ability to select the right drug candidates earlier in the process.

Apr 15, 2011 04:07 EDT The data obtained from QCM analyses are firstly qualitative, delivering information about specificity and selectivity, and quantitative, delivering exact thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of interactions. See the difference in this poster!

Jan 26, 2011 09:55 EST The journal IPT features an article written by Attana's product manager where he discusses how to achieve biological relevance during research and the benefits of doing so. The article is also available online, see right for link.

Nov 10, 2010 10:39 EST Kinetics on cells using the Attana Cell 200 biosensor - two application examples easily explained in Attana's new poster. Select the right candidate early by getting biologically relevant data from interactions directly on the cell surface.

Jun 09, 2010 10:03 EDT The objective of this application note was to determine the glycosylation profile of cancer cells using a cell based QCM Biosensor assay. Among other things, it was found that a single surface can be used to perform lectin screening and to provide a highly relevant and reproducible determination of the glyco-profile of cancer cells.

Jun 16, 2010 10:40 EDT The objective of this application note was to evaluate newly developed therapeutic antibodies in a biologically relevant context (cells) in order to detect failing candidates at an earlier stage. Among other things, it was found that real-time screening of drug candidates in a synthetic and in a cellular context together provides highly informative and biologically relevant data.

Jun 23, 2010 10:54 EDT The objective of this application note was to determine the binding properties of the lectin ConA towards human epidermoid carcinoma cells. Among other things it was found that a kinetic approach may be used to determine the apparent affinity and rate constants of lectin-cell glycan interactions, providing a greater understanding of the mechanism involved in the lectin recognition of cancer cells.
