DESCRIPTION
The Octet® SPR COOH1 sensor chip is comprised of a 2D planar, carboxylated oligoethylene oxide surface which can be used to create a highly stable covalent bond between the sensor chip and desired ligand. The lack of 3D matrix results in a low binding capacity which allows interactions to take place closer to the sensor chip surface. The potential for non-specific binding to positively charged analytes is decreased due to lack of a carboxymethylated dextran matrix. These sensor chips can also be used if interactions are affected by the presence of lectin or dextran.
