Area of Science:

  • Biophotonics
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Label-free optical detection methods are crucial for analyzing biomolecular interactions.
  • Existing methods often lack the throughput and parallelization required for large-scale screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel, highly parallelized optical detection system for label-free biomolecular interaction analysis.
  • To integrate combinatorial solid-phase synthesis with a screening platform in a microplate format.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation of parallel reflectometric interference spectroscopy for a 96-well microplate format.
  • Simultaneous plate imaging using a CCD camera for direct optical monitoring of binding events.
  • Integration of combinatorial solid-phase synthesis and biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA) within a single device.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated parallel detection of biomolecular interactions in microplate wells with high time resolution (18 s).
  • Successfully synthesized and screened a triazine library against four antibodies, achieving high binding affinity detection.
  • Achieved a total screening time of less than 35 minutes for 96 samples, including regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • The presented prototype is the first parallelized optical label-free detection system for high-throughput screening in a 96-well microplate format.
  • This technology enables rapid classification of antibodies and sensitive detection of target molecules.
  • The integrated synthesis and screening platform accelerates the discovery of novel biomolecular interactions.
