- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
Specific features of the system include the
- Measurements are performed in solution (i.e. no immobilisation is required)
- Capability to quantify interactions in complex solutions (crude extract, serum)
- Means to determine binding constant over a wide range (5 nM - high millimolar) as well as stoichiometry and thermodynamic parameters
- Power to work at low nanomolar concentrations
- Advantage of small sample volumes (20 microliter) coupled with the capacity to run samples in high-throughput mode using standard 384 well-plate
- Used detection modalities based on two techniques: Spectral shift detection and Temperature-Related Intensity Change (TRIC)
- Microfluidics-free
- Mass independent measurement i.e., the measurable molecular weight range is from 101-107 Da
- Measure up to 384 datapoints per run
- Advantage of small sample volumes (20 microliter) coupled with the capacity to run samples in high-throughput mode using standard SBS 384 well-plate format
